Coug - I love Billy and Victoria. Very refreshing to watch the two together, and I hope the writers keep them happy at least for 3 years. LOL

Y&R - I must admit, I haven't watched enough to really know what is going on in the drug sting. Who is bad and who is good. I like Kevin and Cloe. But I'm best friends with guys....and sometime it's best to keep it friends. I couldn't stand to be married to any of them. LOL

Toots we have a cool front coming in....rain, rain. And the lows will be in the 60's!! Stick is droopy.

Putting our flag out this weekend.....the pole broke, but now fixed. And it will definately be out on 9/11. Can't believe it will be 9 years. Feels like yesterday.

Happy long weekend folks.

Glad to see these tales finally come to a head. Chance confronts Ronin about the drug deals amongst the cops. Ronin finds out who the head honcho is. By the way, I always suspected it was the #$$%#! DA (or is he the chief). Chloe, looking drab as ever, finally tells Heather the truth about the siblings; and Billy ties the knot to propose to Vicky (after that long "talk" with his father's ghost he was convinced). Ah, but the mighty Vic won't stand for it. Shame. Good show, I thought.

Well, the much feared hurricane has passed; headed up to Long Island I heard, with New England up next. This is all at a Cat. 2 tropical storm, though.

BTW, I still think Billy and Vicky are made for each other...provides each a new lifestyle, which both need.

So many beans spilled today! Best show of the week, IMO. But is that saying much? ;p

Control freaks:
Victor
Chancellor
Nick
Jack

"Win her back?" Really, Victor and Nikki? Do you own Victoria? Such supportive parents. Sheesh. At least Nikki can see that Vikki's happy.

I'm such a sucker for Billyoria. Well - Billy, mostly. Saw a side of him today that's more serious. Please, let their marriage last.

Glad the baby was ok today on B&B, and that Hope embraced Brooke.

Simmering meatballs all day on the stove. mmMMmm, spaghetti.

Ending a little too much of the silly! Victoria is in need of acting lessons, IMO. She's in her 30's, married three times, she was married to Brad, for Gods sake, her mothers ex. If they want her to be loosened up and naughty, she could do that in an adult sexy way....unfortunately she just acts childish, like a goofy 14 year old.

I felt for Kevin....

Love Eric Roberts!! Billy and Victoria are almost too giddy all the time. I would be preoccupied thinking about my boy Reid. Last scene was soo lame. I mean, please, she didn't hear a car pull in or a knock at the door. Plus her hair purposely hanging completely over her face so she couldn't see. I wonder if the actress playing Victoria is preggo in real life. Nikki why do u always half whisper when u speak? Nice speech to Pockets today though..alright? K? They sure are spreading Chloe around the show sexually next will be Kevin.Don't like what they have done with Jenna character. I give writers for the week a C-. The all womans show the other day wasn't believable. Also Chloe and Heather would have had a knock down cat fight already :D ...remember the good 'ole cat fights?

I agree Eric Roberts should stay. I think he is great.
I think he will give Abby everything she wants. She will after all replace her Ma ma one day.
Hey can someone please help? I received my 1st white Orchid plant today without any directions. It is beautiful. I am afraid I will kill it. What do I do with it. I love flowers and plants but have had some bad experiences.
Please advise.

Thank you,

RC: I lived in the Tidewater area for 15 years so I've had close up and personal experience with hurricanes. It's always hard to decide to leave or stay. This time since we were in a rental it wasn't our decision to make so it was less stressful. They told us from the beginning that OBX wouldn't be hit until Friday 2 AM so it seemed unfair to make us leave Wednesday morning. But the traffic was thick and before leaving the island there was a stretch of highway that was already under water. Today I see that Rt 12 is a parking lot. Wouldn't want to be stuck in that.

I like that they are keeping Eric Roberts around.

But just for precaution, if I may say, Naval Station Norfolk is moving its entire fleet out to sea, and NAS Oceana if moving is entire cadre of F-18s off the base. Met two today who are going to San Diego. Vacation by necessity?

Virginia Beach, VA - Thu Sep 2 15:04:30 MDT 2010

The proposal by Billy to Victoria is I think the highlight of their relationship; and the culmination a long discussion with his father's ghost, namely his conscience, that made him realize the days of the caustic, gossiping playboy are over. Don't you all agree? Frankly, I was pleased to see it.

Looks as if Chance has the digs on Ronin and his boss (N?). Yet it appears neither Ronin nor Chance has a girlfriend he can trust, but to lean over for a kiss. Whatever happened to 'keeping secrets' when the secrets are necessary? Oh yes, and does anyone know who the 'big boss' is in this meeting they're having?

Sorry LadyBug you got thrust out of your near paradisal vacation. But frankly, I don't think Earl will be around NC very long, even though it's a Category 4 right now. The speed is about 140 mph and Hatteras always seems to get the worst cause it's so far out. When he reaches VB it'll be at Cat. 3 they say, though nearby the coast WalMart looks like a panic zone parking lot, with people milling around all over the store. They're still planning a Rock n' Roll festival and a Half Marathon at the Oceanfront for Saturday.

Proposal!! It gave me the chills. Is that weird? Probably.

Oh, Abby Normal. How can you tell the lawyer, "I refuse to let you hurt my mom anymore" when hiring him will have the same effect? Clueless.

Well, my weeklong vacation to the ocean got cut short by Earl! Ten of us, family/friends rented a beautiful 3-story beach house in Rodanthe, on the Outer Banks. Got there last Sunday at noon and were evacuated yesterday morning. Only two full days to enjoy, but did enjoy every minute of it. The water was wild and beautiful and so much fun. The weather was perfect while we were there, not too hot and a nice soft breeze. But at night you could feel the bed move. I guess they build houses to have some "give". The first morning, one of the young ladies with us was sleeping on the couch. She told us that there was a ghost in her room because her bed was moving...seriously!!

I was looking forward to a week of no Y&R...hoping the whole Ronan/Chance cop thing will be over by the time I got back.

Didn't read all the posts just caught the cellphone thing. People send their 6/7 year old kids to the playground I take my little one to with just a cellphone. As if that is going to protect them!!

I read where a big time Hollywood plastic surgeon to the stars was driving along the coast in California, tweeting and emailing pictures of his dog to all his friends, when he tweeted himself right off a cliff and to a..."better place"!!

MaryBeth: Good point about Billy Boy needing to have been checked out for everything under the sun before bedding with Victoria. But it's a TV show gang. Mistakes don't happen.
I might want to recind my claim that Cane may be the one to get the schnitz in the coming days. It may in fact be Chance, as he knows more than the cops want him to, and the FBI, namely, Ronin, is/are trying to protect him. What do you think?r

VaBch, VA - Wed Sep 1 20:41:50 MDT 2010

okay, here is my gripe about the unplanned pregnancy ...... count back two months, and how many times since has Victoria been sucking back a beer or two ......... do the words Fetal Alcohol Syndrome not mean anything to these writers? very irresponsible, I think. sends a bad message.
and don't even get me started about unprotected sex in this day and age.

Ugh...Chance tells Chloe he loves her and 5 min later - he's so heartbroken that she wouldn't take the ring back he's sucking face with Heather?! And he's supposed to be a good guy huh?

And hmmm...that apt. Heather is in? Wasn't that being paid for by the GCPD while she was being protected? So - she was fired - why is she still in the apt. paid for by the city?

For all of you on the
East Coast....The incoming Earl hurricane, people are being moved out the Outer Banks region and folks in Virginia Beach from 56th Street to Rudee Loop at 2nd Street are being advised to move boats and equipment from flooding areas to safer zones. Norfolk Naval Base has begun moving ships out to sea. Don't know about NAS Oceana though.
National Weather Service is expecting a level 3 hurricane to reach OBX and Virginia Beach; wave height is 6ft at Sandbridge. Rain is due to arrive here Friday evening.
We will survive.

HOT,HOT,HOT!! Dare say records in Maine are being set. Usually one would have to decide what to dress the kids in as they headed back to school, because the mornings might be cool , but later it would warm up. So far it is wear as lighter clothes as possible, I know of one school which actually sent the kids home early today as it was too hot. My daughter had kids in her classroom yesterday that were vomiting because it was so hot.

lol, guess I;m the odd man out ....... I loved the spa scene, and the women all converging together in the staged catfight .... I saw it as some light-hearted comic relief for a change. oh well. I also just began home-style yoga this week, so maybe the synchronicity of it all appealed to me subliminally. I wonder how you would text those two words.

Be safe, Atlantic Coast US and Canada.

Molly is absolutely herself again, ....... thanks for prayers and wishes for her.

At last reading, Hurricane Earl running NNw toward SC at about Cat. 3 or 4. It is expected to reach outside the border of Hampton Roads by (I think) Fri.9/3 at Cat. 4 or 5. We have a Rock n' Roll Half Marathon here in Virginia Beach on Sunday. Yet still the eye will be 40-60 miles of the coast, but the winds will bring terrific surf, as we saw today.
Okay.

How did you all like Phyllis and her vitriolic entries on laptop? She had acerbic comments for every woman she knew; and they knew who they were. It appears Phyllis has nothing better to do than to bicker and moan about everyone around her. Did you see how they all just left? She was alone.

As a lot of you saw, Meggie has her nails out for Victor and just wants Nikki out of the way. But just maybe (the memory of) that dream will alert her before she drinks the smoothie Meggie's prepared for her. Then Victor will step in, right?

Let's all prepare ourselves on East Coast for this storm.

Mary
Maine - Tue Aug 31 15:50:02 MDT 2010

I don't mind the idea of the spa so much, but... for ALL of female GC to converge there at the same time on the same day?? Odd. They also had total run of the place. The writers were probably trying to be "CUTE" (and appeal to younger viewers) with Lauren and Jill's terrible texting wars and teenage prank tactics. Really?? FAIL ! Just get to the stinkin' cat fight (like the good ol' days) and get it over with!

Cactus~ The quote that made me laugh out loud today was Katherine's to Nikki: "Find a new hobby, for God's sake, other than divorce!"

Regardless of any of Nick's mistakes, SHAME on Phyllis for speaking poorly of him in front of -- and TO -- Summer. She really is a woman scorned. Looks like her pen (ahem, keyboard) will be mightier than the sword.

MaryBeth~ I can just see the moving men in waiting, standing outside Sharon's door. After all, everybody loves Sharon, right? (well, except Phyll)

I don't plan on getting the kids a cell phone at ALL. They tell me how all their friends have phones, but I don't care. Heck, I remember BEGGING my parents for a landline phone and tv in my room (like "landline" was even a known term then, ha). Didn't happen. I'm glad they didn't give in.

Sorry MaryB, but I think the spa thing is just a bad as when the AC had the pool on the roof, and people were eating, in suits around a bunch of swimsuit clad people. I wish they would bring back Yves, the restaurant with the outdoor garden. The set is probably gone, but Brads furniture is still there. :)

JEAN: Glad to know I'm not missing much.

Don't get me started on cell phones and i-pods (or the interactive War videogame where you learn that killing people is just a sport). Not that kids use cell phones for actually "calling" anyway, oh no, gotta text text text every spare minute. Will the next generation know how to have a decent face-to-face conversation with anyone ... or consider life to have any value ...

Sunny but cooler day in Alberta - Tue Aug 31 13:51:08 MDT 2010

I think the idea of the spa is very good. It is a nicer space than the coffee shop the stinky bar, the sweaty looking athletic club.
Funny what Phyl is doing.Maybe she'll get funny too. She can be funny.

Nikki talking to Kay was very good. HEr talk with Ash was good too.

If only they'll get rid of the horrible sofa in Abbey's house. Yes, I'm stillllll harping on that. The whole place doesn't really seem like Abby's taste.

Sharon's live must surely include movers on retainer, and wooden moving boxes with wheels attached. That little lady has moved around more than is realistic.

Coug: I so agree with you on schools and cellphones !!I get so up set with MANY things the school now do and do not do..The school systems have gone down hill..The way the students dress is terrible unless they go to a Catholic school with uniforms which is a good idea..A lot of this blame I feel is on the parents !!Giveing the kids everything they want no matter the price and letting them go do their thing.No family meals ,or family talks just meals on wheels or order pizza and that is it.

NY - Tue Aug 31 09:27:04 MDT 2010

I missed the spa, too.... but LOVED the Billy/Victor scene! They were on the actual verge of joking with one another.
Favorite Billy quote: "It's because I love you, big guy -- It's all part of my master plan, dating your daughter to get to you..."

Jana could very well be the next psycho.... Tearing the magazine cover up and all....

Other fave quote:
Glo: "What would i do without you?"
Kevin: "Probably something stupid."
(True, true.)

OT: There's an uproar here about public schools searching students' cell phones due to texting bullying. How about we don't allow cell phones at the schools?! Also, the local elementary schools are rewarding good behavior with Nintendo DS video game play time. Call me crazy, but I think this is absurd and sends the wrong message. Just my daily rant.

wa.....ter falling from the sky today - Tue Aug 31 08:58:10 MDT 2010

Hi everyone,
In regards to the vodka in Nikki's drink and now the smoothie. YES you absolutely CAN smell and taste alcohol in a drink. Whether you are an alcoholic or not. Vodka is the drink of choice for most alcoholics because you taste and smell it less than all other liquors. So if you are trying to hide it it's easier. You can still taste and smell any type of alcohol though. C'mon it's alcohol!

Coug, I believe she is doing it because she wants Nikki to blow it with Victor. So she can snap him up. I also think it is very far fetched to have Meg start out as such a moral, and caring person and just because she has a crush on Victor, she turns into a vicious snake. With that said it could be fun! I also agree Catherine will catch on before anyone eles.

I love that "Bicki" are buying a house they are so cute together!

As far as Jana banana goes well since Patti is off where ever she is we need a crazy woman story line now don't we? It's fun!

Ashley has been looking so gorgeous lately.
That photo with Chole and Kevin was great!

Oh Where was the spa scene? I missed it.

Thanks for listening.

dave
- Mon Aug 30 17:18:48 MDT 2010

RoseBud, Jean, MaryBeth, and Coug: I think the reason Nikki could't
taste(or smell) the alcohol in the drinks is because she IS an alcoholic; just like some people do with pain, you just become numb, or
better described, accustomed to it. Maybe that's a bad analogy since
many are very sensitive to pain (some of my scars tell the tale)but
that was the best way I thought to draw analogy.
Enough.
Ashley is lashing out at Adam, but I think Skye is the one to
watch out for, since she's got the cajones(?) and the dollars to
make such deals with Jack. Who, btw, would always like to stick to
Newman, using the Newman Fund. But I think he's as blind as the rest
as he doesn't see the big picture Skye sees.
I think regardless of her outfit, Jana is looking better.
Something about the haircut I think; but too bad she and Kev are
splitz.
By the way, today I heard that someone's gonna die on Y&R. I think
it's Cane. Just my assumption, but I think the financiers he's run-
ning from in Australia are going catch up w/him in GC. I also think
Chancellor may get it (they worked together in AUS right?)
Lastly, I think the actress that plays Abby has the prettiest eyes,
don't you?

Hi, Cactus~ Tried to email you and it was returned. Our emails don't like each other, darn it!

I have pretty intense spam filters, so posting my email seemed to be ok. I don't expect y'all to post yours, but feel free to email me if you'd like. I'm so thrilled to have found some of you on FB already!

Meggie being Skye's mom is a good theory. Still wondering what the point of spiking Nikki's drink was, though.

Oh, Tucker and Jack. Ashley will find out and probably never forgive you. Abby probably won't care as long as she gets the $$$.

Just saw the kids off to their first day of school for the year. Anyone else's schools start before Labor Day?

Have a great day, everyone~

Jean ........... not only are these storylines worn out, recycled, been there done that .......... they're "unfeasable (sp?), and boring as batshit" .......

I'm glad others posted about the fallacy about Vodka being undetectable, because on the rare occassion when I have a mixed drink, it is Vodka and orange juice, and I know I can taste the alcohol ------ it has a medicine taste and odour.

I once posted my email on this chatline, and ended up wth scammers trying to raise money for Africa ........... won't post it again, I'll tell ya. For my fb friends, MOllY is so much better today, running and playing with her toys ....... I still think it was a mini-stroke.

Mary B - you are so right.....Dan has bloody marys sometimes on holidays with family and friends, and I can just walk by the table and say OMG, is there any tomato juice in that??

Worn out.

It's the craziest myth next to "short hair is back"!! You CAN smell Vodka in a drink, on your breath in the glass, in the drink. Vodka smells like alcohol!

AJ - always good posts. I kinda like the retro furniture...well, for a while. Love the house. What we saw of it.

I have a real estate license....And you just can't get you RE license just like that (Glo). It depends on if you have any college hours, that counts for how many RE hours you have to take, and the test is brutal. Again, the writer didn't do their homework. BUT I do see Glo in the part as a RE sales person.

Jack, Victor, Sky,.....here we go.

I always liked Phillip, it is just he talks like he has a wad of tobacco in his mouth. I just hope they send Cane back, and Lilly will go with. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Nikki, yeah, she would know immediately the sensation from the Vodka. Mrs C will see it, and I think she will be the one that will realize that Meggie is a loser con.

Okay, I'm done. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Billy/Vic got married in that crazy place they went.
Didn't the get married again (secretly) when the got back to GC? I'm confused about that couple.

Is Glo bug married to that spook (what's his name). Too many people getting married and not being married to keep up.
I think Kay will notice if Nikki acts strange.

The whole Nikki drinking thing....sorry - but how could she not tell there was Voldka in her drink? I know, I know voldka doesn't smell or taste - but you can't miss that warm feeling when it hits your stomach - sorry - esp if you are a hard core alchi like she was. Just not believeable for mre.

I agree - way too much drama in the Cane/Lily story - they need to let that lie for a while and let them be the happy family.

How long before you see Vicki/Billy ditch the furniture in the new home - cute for now but long term? Or do we really think they will be there long term???

Jack just can't change his spots - and Tucker just showed his as if we had any doubts. And for being such a savvy business woman - Ash is a dope to buy that Tucker just did this "for her".

Jana is going to go wacko - any predictions for what she's gonna do to Chloe? I hope she kidnaps her just about the time things heat up with Chance and Heather - then Chance will fly off to the rescue leaving Heather to see just how it feels :)

What a real PLUS! for the characters of Genoa City. Victoria and Billy are buying a house, instead of inheriting someone else's. How about that King Vic? Looks like Vicky's also moving out from under her father's thumb. Don't some of you agree? It's a major shift in venue, sort of, for the GC community.
But Victor will still see Billy as the village idiot, no?

Tucker must not want a long term relationship with Ashley. He ought to know better than to use Abby in his schemes...not to mention that he knows that Ashley doesn't want her to have all that money. Then there's Jack...didn't he learn from using Colleen.

Meggie getting Nikki a drink...so predictable.

Earwigs are little brown bugs with pincher looking things on them. Google an image of them. They like wet places and are just plain annoying. I've heard of earwigs getting in ears.EEEWWWWW

Love the Billy Vicky combo. But also the JT Mac combo. I don't want to see what any of them are doing with the bedroom door closed..but some of them with DO IT anywhere.

I hear Neil is taking a break. I'm tired of his whiney jealous behavior, but I also don't care much for new Malcom. They keep bringing up Dru's name, like yesterday with the hat gift from Lauren.
I thought it was funny Lauren thought of intruding on Jills family party. Didn't we find out that Cane wasn't really Jill's son? Phillip sure has over dyed brown/black hair.

Got my carpets shampooed. Now need to put the house back together, and work on wood floors where area rugs go. Now that I'm an old lady, this is hard work. All the bones and joints and muscles are sore. OH YES, I'm whining now aren't I? Sorry.

Read on FB that Joanie and Totsie are canning and freezing stuff. LOL I used to do that too.

I'm with Toots on the love making. I like gentler, sweeter JT method much better. The ripping off of clothes, banging against shower walls...it reminds me of porn. (I only saw a little in my college days.) Like it's suppose to be so hot to be thrown down on a desk top and...you know. But please, we all know that would be miserably uncomfortable. I've been cursed with an analytical mind so think about the details too much. Like Tucker breaking down a glass door and then "taking" Ashley right there. I'm thinking of all the bits of glass that must have gone flying to the furthest ends of the room.

Victoria and Billy talking about having room for Reed in the trailer, when they are both millionaires....PULEEEESSSSEEEEE!!!!

I DON'T love to hate Jill...I just hate her and wish she were gone. She's all cozy with Cane, Lilly and babies, yet whines about "poor me I have no family"! Owning half a company is suppose to give her the warm fuzzy feeling of family???

She's miserable because she expects everyone else to make her happy -I just love how she screws people over than seems to genuinely not understand why people don't like her or won't forgive her (BILLY).

Read Eden Riegel's blogs on Twitter and she seems like a real party girl; a social butterfly. (Hope she's not insulted with that remark)

I guess I just like the Chance actor better than Ronan.

How is it that Chloe figured out that Ronan was Chance's brother just by googling...yet Paul, who has access to help, is just starting to get a clue??

No chemistry whatsoever between Chance and Heather. (If Heather Thom and her brother David were still playing Billy and Victoria, THEY could probably do a more believable kiss!! Not really, that would be so gross!) I think that Chloe has the better brother. This whole bad cop thing is sooooo boring, IMO...I don't care who did what and why, blah, blah, blah...I wish it was over so that Ronan can smile more. I bet he and Chloe will have good chemistry.

On CBS.com there's a video interview with the Adam actor. I've come to believe he's a really good actor because he's so different than Adam, even facial expressions, demeanor. I've seen interviews with Nick and he's basically the same as his character. The Adam guy, don't remember his name, says that sometimes playing Adam leaves him exhausted.

Did anyone else need the barf bucket during Jill's photo shoot today? another incredibly incensitive or a complete dumb a$$ person - but her this case - I think it's both. I hope down the road they find out that the DNA test was botched...that she isn't a FENMORE

Yes, the dumpsters scene is perplexing and nauseating. I guess they needed that set for when Sharon tossed Nick's bloody suit jacket. (When she did this she had Faith in stoller with her!!! YUCK!!) Now they seem to have to get as much use out of it as possible. As if people who apparently don't own any casualwear are forever lurking around these dumpsters. I've tried and can't recall a single time in my entire life when I have been near a dumpster, in an alley, behind a restaurant at night...or even in the daytime. Not ever.

So, I forgot... is Ashley staying at Abby's place? It doesn't look familiar. I guess those two needed to release some "major tension" right! They really should of had Abby walk in on them. Now that would have been classic!

I really feel for Phillis. I would be furious with Nick! O.M.G is there a housing shortage in G.C? Sharon couldn't stay anywhere else?

I found the Phillis/Deacon scene was rather unbelievable. I don't care how angry or hor-- you are, if you are a real lady you don't do it in the dumpster area! Ha Ha!

Sharon claims to want her independance. Remember? Yah... right!

Listen to Jack, Phyllis. He's had enough wives to know. You're headed for some kind of emotional breakdown (she's so pent up with bitterness and resentment that she's suppressing by her behavior (my estimation, the doctor of...whatever). Oh...oh...there she goes, after Deacon of all people. The two press the trash bags for some nooki. Bright.

Lady Bug: I agree w/ you. Sharon does not belong in that Tack house with Nick. Regardless of how he feels about her they have to wash their hands of one another an MOVE ON.

Speaking of moving on: even though Tucker was snubbed he doesn't take no for an answer. He breaks down the door and jumps on Ashley like a cat in heat. We'll see if Ash liked Tuck puttin' the moves on her on Weds.

Pow! Some shot by old Victor eh? Took Adam by surprise, we're sure. Yeah, but Adam's being convinced by his business/associate girlfriend to dump the vendetta and move on.

I have to agree with Phyllis, Nick moving Sharon into their home...I bet the sheets haven't even cooled off yet...is way, way tacky and must be confusing for Summer. Isn't there a potting shed or chicken coop on the ranch that they can fix up for Sharon. God knows there are no apartment buildings in GC. -- And if Sharon is suppose to be at the ranch for the security, well, it's about as good as the security at the mental health facility.

I LOVED the punch Victor gave Adam, just a little bit of what he has coming!

The scene of Deacon (who caused her son to go to jail etc) and Phyllis getting it on at the garbage dumpster --all I can say is it was a perfect setting (garbage to garbage).

Danny drinking always bothers me a little ,because even though he didn't make Cassie drive the car the night he passed out in the back seat, I don't understand how he could even want a drink again without that haunting him.

Tucker and Ashley certainly showed a lot of energy!

Loved the "Victor" tattoo on Billy's shoulder, every once in awhile someone has a good sense of humor, the idea of Victor always looking over Billy's shoulder or Victor on Billy's back (literally) was funny.

Brought back memories of when the girls would all get together by the pool and in January when all my daughter's friends (boys and girls) came for her birthday party each year. There were always more kids than room , but it was fun and they all enjoyed it, in fact my daughter's friends were talking about it today.

Have a good one

Heading out to a b-b-q that one of our oldest daughter's friends invited us to. Never met her husband or been to her home so it should be fun. Beautiful day here in Maine to be out and about.

wow, Ashley!!! who knew, Girl???!!!! you go, you tigress!! Sure hope the naked heiress doesn't walk in on you,....... whoot whoot!!! wow, Eileen Davidson has a great frame on her. (teaser).
so Christine and Nicholas came to their senses --- thank heaven for small mercies.
whoa, Victor!!! that's one mean, and fast right!!! you still got it, lad.
heh heh heh ........ love the unfinished tatoo. (teaser).

are the ratings on in the States? usually during the summer we have to put up with a bunch of spoilt teenaged brats, but this summer we seem to have been given a reprieve. No 'teenage angst, over the top melodrama' in the poolhouse......... and no, I don't miss it.

Toots ......... then we're all good. as Martha would say, "and that's a good thing" ...... ((((((((((( big hugs )))))))), and stay inside ----- the humidity is returning this weekend, from what I hear.

ot: happy to say I finally submitted five entries for the Locomotive Train Society 2011 Calendar that I was asked to shoot. I'll be thrilled if even one of them is used in the publication , and it would be great for my very meager portfolio. Now I can spend more time on my current school assignment, which has taken a back seat lately. My task is to emulate a photographer that I admire, and I have chosen a woman in Vermont by the name of Amalia Elena Verelli ...... she is awesome, and VERY Georgia O'Keefish .... her website is www.amaliaphotography.com -----if you have time., check her out.

Nora starts back to preschool next week. I'll miss her. We've had her a lot for a couple weeks. She sure likes playing in her little pool and going swimming in the big pool. She's the sweetest little girl most of the time.

Wow, I didn't know those storylines about Victor. intrigueing. I didn't start watching Y&R until about 1993/4. Prior to that, I watched a bit of General Hospital, (Luke and Laura), and even earlier All My Children, in the early 1970's.

OMG, I thought a "woody" was a station wagon, or a mahogany boat, lol.

VaBch, VA - Fri Aug 20 09:29:16 MDT 2010

lady bug, you mentioned Victor pushing his first wife, Julia down the stairs, I remember that really well. He was jealous of her and her relationship with Brock (just friends) and then her relationship with Michael who she modeled for. If I remember right she slept with him once when Victor was never home and Victor made her stay at the ranch and controlled her due to his jealous mind. He then kept Michael hostage in the basement and hooked up cameras so that he had to watch Victor make love to Julia(now THAT would have been torture!!) and he hired Paul to feed him while he had to be away for awhile. I think he made out that Michael was retarded and for his own safety had to be kept from society. Victor even fed him a dead rat once for his lunch! Julia was pregnant and Victor thought the child to be Micheal's since he had a vasectomy (sound familiar??)back when he thought Brock and she was messing around. Julia ended up loosing the baby which turned out to be Victor's after all and she and Paul set Micheal free.

Boy old Vic sure has had his manhood messed with a lot, first with Julia and then he got attacked with a spear gun when he rescued Nicki once and that left him impotent, and then another vasectomy when he married Diane, yet nothing ever kept "him down" I guess one could say cause he kept getting women pregnant when he shouldn't have been able to. "What a Man".lol

I get stuck on the ages too. When I heard Nick and Cricket were going to kiss, I said, no way...she could be his mother!!! But she has taken really good care of herself...always loved her beautiful skin, and Nick has been fast aged, but he's a tall and sexual man, which is all it seems is important.

Emilie your mosquito photo is pure art. Love it.

Toots, you are my hero. You have endured so much loss, but are busy and helpful to everyone around you.

Joanie just took her little girl to college, and Frances isn't far behind. OH YES, I've moved from the 50's to the 60's in here, time marches on. Good luck to the little college girls. It's a big world out there.

- Fri Aug 20 09:10:19 MDT 2010

My memory of Y&R chronology is very poor even though I've watched it since day one. I also thought Chris was too old for Nick. Looked it up and Chris was modeling and hooked up with Danny mid 80's, Nick was born around 1982. He did get a generous dose of miracle gro though, so it could be plausible.

Reading the timeline I was reminded that Victor shoved his first wife Julia down the stairs. This little item must have slipped his mind. I guess hearing in court the account of Adam causing Ashley to fall down the stairs didn't jog his memory.

Went to Target last night. I was in the checkout line when police stormed in to apprehend a shoplifter. I expected to see crazy teenagers. It was a mom with three little kids, one in a stoller. It broke my heart what those kids had to go through.

yes -- the photo with the mosquito on facebook is terrific -- loved that it ended up being a surprise to you when you printed it -- great work

watched today's episode of y&r just now -- ugh -- didn't know who some of the folks were even -- the nick/cricket things was just too stoopid and connived -- the billy (who i am now beginning not only to like, but to love !!) and victoria shower scene was great -- they are a great team -- all the adam / sharon stuff i did not like -- i did like the around-the-table conversations at the beginning of the show -- reminded me of old times

okay -- gotta say -- even as i write this -- who the heck cares what i liked and did not like on the show -- it's just nice to type it out every once and while -- thx for reading (or not reading -- as the case may be)

thank you, everyone, for the congrats and good wishes.
Toots ..... you don't know how often I think of you, and your loss; on Sept. 1st every year, we drive up to my husband's hometown, (Owen Sound, ON.), to visit the grave of his son and parents. it will be 19 years since he died, but it never gets any easier for my husband. he carries it around, "just below the surface". My thoughts are with you, Toots.

I thought the scene between Nick and Christine was so strained, and "wooden" ----------- lol, the shower scene between Billy and Victoria was anything BUT wooden, ......... heh heh heh.
I just hope that we don't see anymore scenes from Ottawa with people wearing the stereotypical plaid lumberjack shirts, and I'm sorry but while there is an Ottawa River, lol lol lol , ........ the farthest thing in the world you'd ever find there is a seedy bar like the one they had on the show. If you know anything about Ottawa, you'll know it's very prim and proper, and the only thing it's know for waterwise is skating on the canal in winter. lol lol lol ........ too funny.

Ohio - Thu Aug 19 17:38:24 MDT 2010

I had a sense of deja vu with Nick and Chris even before the kiss. He and Phyllis started out their relationship the same way...silly competition over video games with them...baseball with Chris. Well, that rules out Nick and Skye. Maybe Jack and Skye. It's a regular relationship musical chairs in GC!!!

I took photography in college, back in the stone ages. The word "digital" wasn't even part of our vocabulary. We had to lug the tripod around everywhere. But, styles change as does technology. If you want perfect, like a family portrait, then you need a tripod. But with fashion I think they are going for a more artsy look, with movement.

In soaps when someone coughs it means they have about six months to live. Nikki forgetting where she put her notebook might be the onset of altzheimers. But, they don't give us real stories. It's more likely we'll get a story of Nikki and Meggie being twins separated at birth. Obviously, not identical twins...LOL!

lady bug
- Thu Aug 19 17:17:34 MDT 2010

Yeah, gang, I think the steam in that shower was from Billy and Vick. Didya notice the knowing smile the fireman had after he broke down the door?

Nick. Like father like son. Drops one babe to chase another. And of course Phyllis has to see it all. If any character gave advice to her I'd say, "Drop the long trek back dear and move on." I think Nick (as Morrow himself said he should) has moved on. And that right quick don't you think? And Cricket no less. C'mon Nick....

Guess the trouble with small towns is there's only so many women and I think Paul certainly has shown that fact. That's why Nina slapped him. He was even married to Nikki once.
Speaking of Nikki....

AJ - I think you're right. Meggie just might be Skye's mom. Why else would she almost suddenly pop into town in this heat of battle with Adam and all of GC, while Skye's canoodling some way to bilk money from the Newman's?

Lastly, What attracted me at first to this chatbook was the down home friendly chatter between Nurse Connie, Couch, and the rest of you.

WOO HOO the old guys popped in. Glad to see you.

OH MY GOODNESS...I've just had a lightbulb moment maybeeeeeeee Maggie isssss Skye's mommie! IF she is you'd think she'd take better care of her, making her work in a bar in...the north. It was just too odd that Victor went to find Adam there, and the deadbeats followed Maggie back to GC we think, to pretend she's in danger. Wonder what she's doing to Nikki's personal paperwork and records and calendar and check book???

I was reading yesterday that a few years back Melody started having a painful bladder condition that keeps her in a lot of pain. She might be on meds that cause her to gain weight and make her hair so bad. It might be why she walks like her back hurts.
Somewhere I was reading she was getting a divorce but I could never find that info anywhere online.

Congrats to Emilie...new houses are fun, and you always get in there to paint and do all that new house stuff. Are you selling your condo?
I do know you've moved a couple of times since we've been in this chat room, you must be very organized. I hope you enjoy the house.

I think we all miss Connie in here. It's always surreal that she and couch are both gone. The husbands who have passed and the folks who have moved on, are all part of my great and not so great memories of starting here in the 90's when I found the chat room and couch sitting there waiting to talk.

After today - I'm betting that Maggie is in cahoots with Skye - that's got to be it - how about - she's her Mom - Skye is a grifter - she learned it somewhere...let's see how close I am :)

Looking forward to Lauren torturing Jill...

That bathroom was 3 times bigger than a regular trailers bathroom for sure. Did you notice how Pockets actually substituted his usual K? at the end of one of his lines with the word Clear? lololololo

RCS --- not at all. in fact, when I posted earlier I agreed with you that tripods are a necessary accessory on many occassions ...... but not always ........ and at an outlay of $1,000.00 for a good one, I've had to wait and do without one for as long as possible.

Sigh. I knew I'd be shot down after I finished typing that about the tripod. Old school, I guess. I remember having a KOWA SET 1000 with a manual focusing interchangable set of lenses (2). The only way to focus correctly was either a good eye or re-focus over and over till subject was PERFECTLY clear. "C'mon take it already!" my family would say. Maybe that's why I stressed the tripod. The motor drive of my latest Nikon wore out. I miss the SLR.

Gotta confess, I'm a bit lost about what is actually going on re the Chance, bad cop, undercover investigation thing ...... but what a sweetie the guy is who plays Chance. purrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Would have been nice to see Jenna's character left with a bit of dignity. I liked her with Kevin ........ but I also like Kevin with Chloe.

OMG------- Nick with Christine???? barf bags all 'round.

tripods --- my love/hate relationship. actually, the man who owns The Photography Institute with whom I'm doing my studies has shot extensively with Vogue, Cosmo, Better Homes and Gardens, etc. for more than 30 years, and he shoots without a tripod as much as possible. With the image stabilization in today's fast top of the line lenses, coupled with a fast shutter speed ---- you can avoid the tripod a lot of the time. I have a handheld moonshot that went viral on Flickr last April. Having said that, my next major purchase will be a rather expensive carbon tripod and a ballhead, because I like to shoot macro with a next to nothing depth of field, and a tripod is very necessary for that, even WITH my expensive lenses and full-frame sensor. So yes, I agree with the merits/need for a tripod under many conditions, but so far my stepladder has bailed me out and saved me a lot of money.

Today is our 15th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, we are meeting my bro and sil for dinner for chinese food, where we will announce the recent purchase of a new home about 20 minutes from where they live. I know that my bro will be very, very pleased, as am I. I have kept a lid on this because I didn't want anyone on fb to let it slip, as my sil would see it. We take possession Nov. 1st, and I cannot WAIT to get back into a detached house again ..... out of the "fishbowl" townhouse existence. It's 3 bedroom, two-storey with finished basement, wood-burning fireplace for winters, double-garage, and TA DAHHHHHHH!!! an inground swimming pool in the yard. I just hope my Molly lives long enough to swim in it next summer.

have a great day, everyone.

I must have been working during Lauren's teenage years because I don't remember a thing. It's no wonder that she turned out nasty with an obsessive father and witch of a mother. At any rate, she did get her karmic comeupence through Sheila (stealing her child, trying to set her on fire, etc) and became a nice person. Jill, on the other hand, has been nothing but nasty and everyone just puts up with her. Mostly it's selfishness on my part. Maybe most people like it but I find all the corporate game playing and trickery boring, I really don't want to see the two of them battling over Fenmore. And Jill using Restless Style...which is suppose to be a national fashion mag and they treat it like a weekly gossip rag that only focusses on the people in one small town...to trash Lauren. I'm not a fan of either so I can't imagine any story with the two of them that I could get into.

MaryB - yeah, Lauren was brutal to Tracy. But I thought the judge would have seen thu the mother(I almost said Dina, but that was John Abbots wife), that she was jealous of Lauren.

On a whole, the majority of Y&R is in a boring stage again. Don't like the Chance thing, Gag me with Adam, and Lilly, JT, Mac. Do like Glo, Jeffrey, Kevin, Cloe, Victoria, Billy. JMO guys.

is there really a chance and a chase on the show now -- who is who and what is what ??

the best birthday gift basyl ever gave me (and my birthday is late in december) was a calendar that he made -- before the days of computers -- he bought a calendar where the picture parts each had a sort of frame around it and he took pictures of our two dogs and three cats printed them in his dark room -- black and white -- and pasted them into the "frames" on the calendar -- when i first saw it i cried real tears -- and then each month as i turned the page i smiled big happy smiles -- ahhh, that's a good memory . . .

She was selfish and didn't care who she hurt when she cheated on all of her husbands and lovers. I think the two ladies deserve each other as sisters. It's a hoot! Lauren's selfish mean past seems to be bubbling up now, and I think this stupid storyline contrived by these lame writers should include Jill getting half.

LadyBug: Again, as always, Your perspective on the personalities of these characters is amazing. Yes, it is paramount that Jill concentrate more on the relationship of a (as yet unproven) relative, than to see who gets a bigger piece of the pie. But that's Jill. No wonder people avoid her.
I don't see a sequel of Nick and Sharon happening soon. Turn the page. Not even Josh Morrow wants that. "Been there, done that" he said. I don't know how but the two need new lives.
Pro photography without a tripod? Unheard of. Unwise. Unprofessional. Unless the subject is in motion at the studio or at a sporting event the photographer needs to keep his camera stable.

Emelie: I was actually thinking a week ago, that, like Meredith Baxter, they should have Jill "come out of the closet". She's never had a decent relationship with a man. She and Lauren's mother would be a match made in heaven...or maybe hell! Katherine could become an ordained minister online and marry them.

Maybe THAT will be the November wedding! Not a sequel of Victor and Nikki or Nick and Sharon. Dare I hope.

I love MOMA. Sadly, I've only had their catalog to enjoy for the past few years.

If Jill really cared about family, she would refuse the 50% and work on the relationship with Lauren.

Where is Jana getting the money to buy clothes and expensive flowers.

Either the show is getting better or I'm becoming less b*tchy! Although, I have to say, Daniel taking professional photos without a tripod...I don't think so.

Last year I made a "family calendar" for stocking stuffers. It was so much fun to put together. On everyone's birth date I put a picture of them when they were young or something unusual. It is great to be able to look at and think about all my family each month of the year. A professional calendar for promotional purposes is also a great idea.

I guess what I was thinking was how hypocritcal I could be, as I agree totally with Mary from Maine and the rest of the posters. Weight and age should be a non-issue, but to portray Jill as the sex kitten she used to be when she is as round as she is now seems a bit of a stretch. But why not? Just goes against society's norm for people in the entertainment business, I guess. I have enjoyed the times that Katherine and Murphy have been amorous and gone "upstairs." We don't need to see them in bed, but to know love has no age limit is great.

lol, well when I get into MOMA, (do they let in non-Americans?), I will invite all of you to the opening ........ and we'll eat, drink, and be merry, and all get along. ;-)))

I never used to like Chloe, but I sure do now. And I like the idea of her and Kevin together.
I have to admit, the storyline isn't grabbing me about Chance, etc., nor is the storyline about Lily and Caine. (now HE is a strong contender for the nickname "Mumbles" in my book.).
I wonder if they're ever going to tackle another homosexual storyline, maybe a couple of lesbians. I'm thinking maybe The Naked Heiress Meets K.D. Lang, during a recital of "Alle'lujah", (which is a song I also absolutely love, forget who else mentioned it the other day). Or, they could have Amber in L.A. marching for gay marriage, and meet Mrs. Wonderful in the crowd. nah!!! I guess not.
I think I'll stick to writing about Nick and Sharon and Phyllis, etc.

Jean, I too am sick of the Nina, son, Chance story line. Lets move on people. I don't care too much for the actor who is playing Nina's son. Maybe it is his role? Yesterday's show was so boring!
I am too going through menopause and have put on weight. I was not judging when I was speaking of Nikki's frumpy look. I am at an age that I too don't care what people think. I am finally comfortable in my own skin. I believe the best part of aging is that freedom. The worst part is the lack of memory and the aches and pains!

I named my daughter after a Beatles song....Michelle.

Emelie: I have a friend who is into photography. She lives in a large small town...know what I mean. She loves taking pictures of local areas, old buildings, scenic spots, etc. She wanted to make some money but wasn't having any success selling them. So I gave her a great idea (not original). I told her to pick out her 12 best photos and make up a calendar, sell ads to local businesses, etc. She decided to go to the Chamber of Commerce who were always fundraising. They loved the idea. They paid for the printing, added a page of local important ph# and info. Added local events in the days of the week squares, sold ads. She made money and they made money. A special calendar is the perfect little Christmas gift. She lives in another state, in my hometown, after I told her the idea she never mentioned it. Then one day I got a copy of the calendar in the mail.

I guess I don't really care if the actors are heavier or slim, when they aren't on the show they are like all of us,"just people" who hopefully are lucky enough to have family who loves them no matter their faults, or looks.I don't think that most of the population would be chosen to be seen between the sheets or otherwise on most of these shows, because we are all just who we are. I do like seeing characters who are of other races, ages,sexes, religions, and yes body weights , it makes for a more realistic representation of the real world, and everyone desires to be loved. God knows this world would be less populated if looks were the only thing that counted! Some of the nicest folks I have known have been heavy or maybe not handsome, but what was inside shone through and made them beautiful.

Cactus ..... just curious to know: do you cringe at the thought of Paul and Nina in a horizontal hoochee-koochey tryst? Is the issue about weight or age? I mean, I really don't want to see Jill between the sheets with anyone, but nor do I want to see Mrs. C. and Murphy ........ and trust me, lol, weight has nothing to do with it, rotflmao. I think that at some point they have earned the dignity of keeping their clothes on, regardless of how much they weigh. Remember, though, when they replaced the actor portraying Colleen because she was heavier? I thought it was so wrong.

thanks for support and encouragement re my studies. no idea where it will lead, but I'm just doing it for the pleasure of it, and to learn formally the elements that I'm unfamiliar with. if other people get pleasure from my skills, then I'm happy about that too.

my daughter was born with cleft lip and palette in 1979, so we chose the name "jewel", so that no matter where she was, or how old she was, she would always know how her mom and dad felt about her. she loves her name, btw.

I think it is normal for them to look older, heavier than they did 25 yrs ago. We would all be btcng if they were skinny and unrealistic for their ages and their childrens ages. I believe "nikki" was just divorced, probably bummed out and does not really care right now. Been there done that.

It used to be that soap stars had to sign as part of their contract to keep their weight "normal" whatever that is. I think it is "normal" for Jill and Nikki to have some mid-life weight gain.
Even though I consider myself "liberated" as what some see as weight issues, I have to truthfully admit I would now find it difficult to see Jill in a passionate love affair. I would expect Tucker to pick Ashley over Jill, with Ashley being the more attractive person. I know this is wrong thinking, and it makes me realize the influence that society and the media has had on me that I haven't even realized. What do the rest of you think?

I just spent the last hour reading your very funny comments. I have been away for a while and have missed your clever and witty exchanges.
Well Niki is going through a serious change... of life? She has put on some weight and that suit she wore today! I agree the hair was not appropriate. Maybe for the beach but not with the tacky "pattern" suit.
Adam is going to rise and be in power for a time, then he will fall.
I have to say he makes things more interesting.
Ashley has been looking gorgeous lately. I named my 27 yr. old daughter after her by the way.

MaryB - exactly about Nikki. She is all dressed up, and her hairdresser is always a no show. I think Y&R shares a dressing room with the Price is Right models. How come they always look great, hair done different all the time, and the Y&R gals hair, other than Ashley (well she has her moments too), is a stringy mess.

Went to my hometown last weekend. 12 of us girls got together and had a limo take us everywhere. I see 3 out of the 12 on a regular basis, but the others I haven't seen since high school. It was a hoot and holler. I had a T-shirt made that said Extra Virgin. Oh, I crack myself up at times.

Which is, by the way, where we are. I was touched by her and I am also touched by rememberances of her. It's great that you had a personal relationship with her. But don't judge or underestimate the effect she had on all our lives.

I think that sometimes it's actually easier to be honest on the internet than it is with people you have to see everyday. It may be very hard for any of you to believe this, by in the real world I am a walking talking ray of sunshine...LOL!!!

Toots ......... thank you. I've been doing an online photography course out of San Francisco's 'The Photography Institute' ------- I'm 50% completed, and have a 98.8 grademark so far. I'm currently shooting a Lionel Train setup for a locomotive calendar, last week I wrapped up a family reunion shoot, and I've almost completed an architecture shoot of a medical facility. On Friday past, I received a letter from a woman who had seen one of my sunrise photos in our local paper, and she has asked to purchase a copy of the print. So ........ bit by bit things are happening,---- one day when I have a little more time I'll head south of the line and photograph your baking, and then we'll eat the pastries. (((((((( hugs )))))))))).

RC --- well, you're just as busy as an online beaver, so to speak. It's ALWAYS nice to touch 'old friends'....... ;-))

Poor Nikki ...... I guess Melody should have a magic wand up her sleeve that lets her stay young forever. No doubt the pressure will be on for her to have the botox and the prerequisite Jeannie Cooper facelifts. heh heh, perhaps she has reached the stage in life when she doesn't give a rat's ass about who thinks what about her "looks". I can relate to the liberation.

I don't retain the actors' names, except Eric and Melody and Jeannie, so I'll just refer to the characters: Heather: unimpressive - prefer the old one; Adam: excellent; Nick & Sharon: as always, a perfect team; Phyllis: I was never a fan of hers' in the old days, but the past few years she has impressed me time and time and time again; Nina - great to see her back, especially with her very human weight issues; and Christine: hasn't changed much, but always portrayed her role well.

Seems that the Vic was right. Adam is now brewing in the stew of his conscience as he dreams of his late mother's disapproval of his evil deeds. I think that's going to overcome him somehow, while his wife, er, business partner only has concern for their next score. How sad.

Have Eden Riegal ("Heather"), Eileen Davidson("Ashley"), and Michael Muhney ("Adam") on my Twitter home page, due to opening a Y&R Twitter page myself. Found out Eden Riegel will have a guest appearance on "Castle" this week or next week. I said I'd watch; usually do anyway.

Amen on the RIP to Elvis. Know he sang gospel real well, just not enough; and it's nice to think of he and Nurse Connie jammin' together. They are both unique...never be another Elvis or Nurse Connie.

Maybe she accompanies you on some of those gospel songs that you did so well.

I remember being at work and the boss had left her c.b. radio on and I heard a guy say that Elvis had died. I could not believe it. He was to be in Maine for a concert, they had already sent his clothes and etc. on to the Portland hotel when news came of his death. Thus he only made one Maine appearance( in Augusta) that I missed ,because I had perfect attendance and didn't want to mess it up since it was my senior year, so I couldn't go stand in line for a ticket. I have regretted it ever since, because I know now what would have meant more to me.

I liked Victor's idea of ignoring Adam. Also was suprised at the judge's ruling.
Really hard to buy this Sharon loving Adam thing. And you guys made a great point about her duty to put her daughter first.
Why is everyone so hard on Janna? The brain injury obviously messed her up-why isn't anyone trying to get her help?
I know Jill is really messed up and her behavior makes me cringe, but I kind of like her. I think she's fun to watch and listen to.
Meggie being attacked at the coffee house at just the right moment had to be a set up. But who knows? Just like in an unfair mystery novel the writers trick us sometimes.Like when Chance's brother was made to look like he was the dirty cop at first.

But on to the important things: Chance listened to us and grew his hair!- and we were right- he looks way cuter. Maybe it's also to reflect his new less than perfect boy scout persona.
Did anyone notice how diff. Ashley looked in the flashback scene at the cabin? They've made her so blonde recently. I think her face looked prettier with the darker hair color.
And I think overall Nicky's been looking better lately.

I fully expected him to be judge, jury and executioner, acting as if he was above the law and feel fully justified in doing it. Nice to see him come off reasonable and let the universe give Adam whatever he deserves. For now anyway, by Monday he could be hiring a hit man or having the maid scrub up the old dungeon.

LadyBug: I just saw Eric Roberts in "The Expendibles" today, at a local theater. Not Academy Award material but really fun. I said, "Oh, that's the lawyer." when he showed up on the screen. Take your nearest loved one to see it. He might like it. The quips are funny.

Hi, every body! Well, it seems the writers finally did some good. Having Victor and Nikki recall some of Adam's past, the viewer was able to catch up while the judge convened on the decision. When she declared such decision, I'm sure everyone was as disappointed as I was.
But this is where the writers did good: Instead of having Victor declare 'vengeance' for all those people affected by Adam, he had them coldly ignore him to let his own conscience remind him of his deeds. Both cruel and useful. What do you all think?

Oh...if only Victor had raised Adam, he could have had a father who was a workoholic and never spent any time with his kids and an alcoholic mother and spent most of his childhood in boarding school, while his model parents were having affairs and getting divorces...maybe then he'd have turned into a decent human being. But no...he had the misfortune of being raised on a farm with a saintly mother who made him go to church every Sunday. That is the fast track to becoming a socio-path...right? Whoever came up with that logic must have been on crack! They are going to have to show us a flashback of Cliff forcing Adam to have sex with farm animals before I can buy this.

When Victor and Nikki were going down memory lane, Nikki acted and sounded like she was about to fall asleep. Maybe she has Epsteins Bar Syndrome or chronic fatigue. Or maybe she's bored to tears with a role she has been doing her entire adult life but needs the money since her recent divorce.

Didn't we know that if they hired Eric Roberts to be defense attorney, he wasn't going to lose.

And welcome to another episode of "The Pockets Show". The last one was a few months ago at the dive bar with Meggie when those 4 guys 40 years younger than Vic man weren't able to over power him. What a joke. Well, I guess there has to be periodic shows where he needs to have his arrogant ego stroked. Sheesh! Adam during that one scene when you pointed your finger at him it was supposed to be the middle one. Surprised he didn't say "Don't you point your finger at me". Why did everyone show up at the ranch like sheep anyway? Couldn't he have just emailed whatever or told them all in the hallway of the courthouse (away from Adam and Skye) Jack is supposed to despise him. Why even give him his time? Anyway a big thumbs down to this episode. If I had been Nikki listening to Pockets stroll down memory lane about Adams bad side..I would have kept saying like father like son like father like son like father like son lolololol

Mary Beth & rc~ Yes, the Chance scenario is laughable. People going in and out of the "Day Room," passing drugs, whispering crucial conversations.....Is this a high security area? Heather clinging to Chance after the explosion while Chloe balked was a difficult scene to stomach as well. The writers and actors were entertaining just a month ago, and now... it seems they're on vacation.

Eric Roberts has a narrator's voice. Every time he speaks, I envision some wildlife scene showing on a PBS channel.

Speaking of that, it's been a crazy night. I set foot in the yard to see the meteor shower when a deer came bounding out of the bushes at me-! So I went on the deck, at which point I was dive-bombed by a bat three times. That's what i get fer livin' in the woods!

You all r right. Jill and Nikki have to wear the clothes that complement their middle age. Try to hide the butts if they're extraordinary; I think the dress should hide it somehow. Sorry, I know that sounds cruel.

I don't think that I am OCD so much, as just wanting to 'fix' stuff...I am retired now, so I help out at my brothers gas station. Older chap comes in, and he's got his left pant leg tucked into his white sock - well, my eye is GLUED to it, and of course I tell him. Same as this woman that had her long earring 'caught' in her over-sprayed hair. It was trapped sideways~~ Metioned it to her, yes I DID! I do have a friend that has to 'tap' all of her stove elements before she walks out... I always get her when we leave~~ "did you check your stove?" (after we have walked out, and she has locked her door~~) Back in she goes, swearing at me!!!!!!

Great idea shoving Neil off a cliff. And if he would grab onto Jill and take her down too...that would make me happy.

Dave: I have my annoyances too. Like women with long straight hair supposedly working. Especially Chris back in the old days. I wanted to jump into the TV and grab her hair and put it in a ponytail. How can anyone sit at a desk working with hair hanging down their face. I also don't like Rachel Ray to wear long sleeves while cooking. I want to shove her sleeveds up for her. I don't like her wearing her watch and rings. Giada never wears jewelry on her hands and has short clean, unpolished nails.

Ah...Woolworths...memorieeeeess, like the corners of my mind, misty water colored memories...of sitting at the counter with a turkey sandwich special...slices of REAL turkey on white bread, mashed potatoes all of it smothered in gravy. Kresges too...

I've got a touch of the OCD too. Just a few little things that drive me crazy. When I pull out of my garage I close it with the garaged door opener...I drive away and I'm convinced I didn't close it. I drive around the block and check. I have NEVER left it open. Back when I was married and used to iron more I'd always be convinced I left the iron on whenever we left for a trip. I'd make hubby go back so I could check. One time we were leaving for a cruise and I was convinced I'd left it on, then I remembered that I had packed it my suitcase but I STILL felt I left it on. That's when I realized it wasn't normal.

The Winters story line is soo boring. Writers are bombing with that 1. My eyes start closing as fast as those little babies. The writers will probably make them Abby's age by next week. "The Ashby Twins" Ashley I can understand you not wanting Tucker to hear about you. You've lost your mind a few times now. Maybe him and Meggie will get together lol. Right before the camera panned to the court room audience I just knew pockets would have his arms crossed over his chest. He always does when he sits in the courtroom.

For some odd reason Sharon just folds in Adam's presence, so much so that she becomes flustered every time he even speaks. Can't she overlook her own feelings and just state the lurid facts of what this sly,evil guy has done? ("Just the facts, ma'am" eg, Dragnet)

Is this Meggie gonna be a new character for Y&R? Now that she's been exonerated by (what's his name's) arrival at GC to get her, how long do you think she'll be in town now?

Was anyone else distracted by Sharon's rapper chain dress? All it needs to be complete is a huge medallion in the middle.

Ugh, looks like the goal now is to keep Adumb around to be the one we love to hate. I could perhaps stomach this notion if only it weren't with Sharon. It would be more appropriate to get him together with the other village idiot: Jill!
So it looks like he sincerely loves Sharon and she's just weak enough to let it happen.

AJ, I couldn't agree more with you about a mother's perspective. Sharon will be putting Adam before her own child's welfare. Plus I concur that the new Malcolm isn't a good fit. His "acting" leaves much to be desired.

The villains of the show are just lame these days. We need a new, exciting one ala Wartman or the old psycho Phyllis,,, which may actually be happening. Are they setting us up for this with "Hate, hate, hate, a woman scorned?" The only thing that might "get in the way" of this is that she has a kid...?

What was the significance of the figurine Phyllis found on the floor? I wasn't watching in the early days of her and Nick's relationship.

Who did Phyllis kill? I don't remember that one...

Sorry ladybug - I can't choke down Sharon forgiving Adam - it is so beyond reality - IMHO it is not interesting - it's insane - may be that's what the writers are toying with - Sharon going back to the luney bin.

If we are going to "forgive" Adam - we need a reason for him being a manipulative SOB - I read Hope is making a ghostly appearance - they may be going to give us one...like Kevin being beaten an tourtured as a child...

AJ
Iowa - Sun Aug 8 19:11:04 MDT 2010

AJ: Honestly, if Nick and Sharon go back together, it will thrill us in the moment and then bore us to tears. Sharon and Adam would be a lot more interesting. Keep in mind, as has already been mentioned, almost everyone on the show has done evil things and all is forgiven and totally forgotten. I don't even want to go back to all the things Victor has done which makes it hypocritical of him to judge anyone. It would be interesting to have a flashback of his evil deeds and then he could realize, well maybe that's why Adam is the way he is!! Yeah, he had a saint for a mother but a bigtime sinner as a father. Phyllis has killed, Kevin locked Colleen in a freezer and then set fire to the building...she forgave him. It's best to let go and move on with the story.

Everyone wants Adam gone and over. But if they got rid of every character that did something despicable, there would be no show.

I'm thrilled Meggie is back on. Victor and Nikki getting married...yawn...I'm dozing off just thinking about it. The fact that she wasn't at the opening of GloWorm makes me wonder what's up with her????

It seems that both Victoria and Nick are aware of the company's illegal bribery. I thought that at least Nick had some ethics. They really do believe they are above the law.

Phyllis plowed into Nick with her just comments. And Nick I think knew he was wrong, but they just have to stop the bickering. Especially Phyllis. They have to accept the fate of their marriage and split. Not for Nick to return to what's her name.

Speaking of Sharon, she today has proven how gullibly stupid she is. She falls into Adam's arms again outside the club and just can't see how she'll be so emotionally attached that she won't incriminate him
when he's in court tomorrow. And guess what, HE'LL WALK.

It's almost refreshing to see someone the size of Sophie on a soap. Nina too is no skinny minny.

Love Phyllis's new hair and I really loved her letting Nick have it. He deserved it!! Of course he probably wasted no time rushing back to GloWorm to "protect" Sharon.

I hope Billy lets his mother have it when he figures out what she did. Of course he promised Victoria he wouldn't tell anyone and he did. I wish I liked Victoria, but I just can't. She is such a BAD actress. Her attempt to cry today was so pathetic. My 3 year old granddaughter can fake cry better than her. To be fair, most toddlers can do academy award winning fake crying.

Speaking of pathetic...Jana. That stupid hat with that glum expression on her face. I never realized it before but she seems quite tall. She seemed to almost tower over Kevin and Chloe. Maybe she also had a pair of 4 inch heels in her backpack. A definite "must have" for a girl on the run with a fugitive. I hope Kevin never takes her back. I don't think I can ever like her again. And he's really cute with Chloe.

Well, Nikki and Jill are a bit more voluptuos. Age does that to some women.It could be menopause. We never know what people are going through in their personal life. IT must be a huge "weight" on the shoulders of actors to stay trim for the cameras. Sometimes that's just tooo much to handle.We all cannot be a skinny as Sharon and Phyllis, as great as they look.

I thought the vibe at the "opening" was just plain wierd! Hated that Nina saw Cricket and Paul kissing, but they do have the chemistry that N and P just don't have, they have fun in bed but not sure it's ..love.

Coug: Loved your commentary on today's show. The repartee between Jana and Chloe was memorable. You're right, though. Daddy Newman should stop treating his daughter like she's a schoolgirl. She made her own bed, her own life, etc.; Victor is concerned about (1)his image, and (2)Newman Enterprises. Now Billy's involvement in undermining all Victor owns is questionable. What if it IS true love?(Which we all believe)

Generally, I'd say Adam should stick with his current wife and forget the past, but I think we all saw that Skye is just married for business, which I think Adam just noticed.

Lastly, Glo is the type that likes to flaunt. Flaunt her clothes, her wealth, her friends; and given her near squalid past I guess I understand. But she tends to be shallow. Her husband is a riot though. They are a perfect match.

Tho' I think I just figured out what may rock Jill's world like a kick in the pants.

Still grinning ear to ear from Abby's latest antics. "Oh, hi Mom." LOVED how Chloe covered Kev's eyes and he slowly pulled her hand away. ok, those two are meant for each other. I never expected to dislike Jana so much. And yeah, isn't she living in a car or something? How convenient to have that formal wear, like lady bug said.

Jana: "May I have just a second?"
Chloe: "Second's up." love it

Funny how everyone dislikes Glo, but all show up for the club opening. Maybe there's not much night life in GC and people jump at the chance. "You just relax, Wormy, ok?" says Jill. Glo really is a worm - it's perfect!

Also funny how Victor orders Victoria around like she's 12. Then again, she IS still calling him "Daddy." Oh PLEASE listen to Billy instead of Daddy! It was just getting good, aaarrrrfffggghhh..

I agree, the Billy/Victoria ("Billyoria" - Lol!) is the best storyline idea yet. I hope no one disintegrates this story somehow. The two, though from opposing families, go together like peanut butter and jelly; and they're fun to watch, aren't they? Granted though, Billy's got to act more responsibly. But maybe that's the attraction.

Yes, Kevin needed new blood, so to speak, and he needs a business that will benefit his intellectual needs as well as his people skills. (Sounds like an application review. Sorry.)

rc~ Aw, thanks for the kind words. :) I find that, even though Y&R is so unbelievable at times, it's truly art imitating real life at others..

sparkie~ I think it makes perfect sense. Although the show gets reeeally arduous sometimes, there are always those occasional moments we don't want to miss. I missed a good two years of Y&R a while back, but totally got sucked in again because of familiarity of the characters. It never ends!

Jill: Dying to be accepted by family, but turning around and saying, "It's ok, he's just family -- he'll HAVE to forgive me." Is this the way it works, Jill? So it's a one way street? Sorry to repeat myself, but this really bothers me, and I hope she learns the HARD way. I don't even love to hate her - she's just a terrible annoyance, like a mosquito constantly buzzing in your ear, and I'm worried that this attitude of hers will just go on and on and on and on ... How can this storyline possibly get resolved? Any ideas?

I saw the Bachelorette episode where the guy got the tattoo... Now that was just creepy and... stooopid.

lady bug~ LOL - re: backpacking! That was about as unrealistic as Sharon's 4-inch spiked heels in the corn field.

Go Kevin. Sad, I enjoyed he and Jana together, but have absolutely no sympathy for her now. I know she lost her emotions, but... did she lose absolutely all decision making skills??

Gosh, I gripe a lot. Let's get more Billyoria action going on, Y&R.

RC: This was my favorite Bachelorette ever. First, because I liked Roberto right off the bat and hoped she would pick him. And I thought it was very kind of her to let Chris go before the finale rose. I've never liked that part of the show. Chris was great...but not to worry...he'll most likely be the next Bachelor.

Jill is a real piece of work. She has no consideration for family. Her son Billy is finally in love and she messes with it by revealing his secret, which will no doubt create problems for him and Victoria. Jill cares about no one but herself.

Had to laugh at Jana and Ryder backpacking. They didn't look like road weary, grubby hitchhikers -- they looked like they'd just stepped out of a Sears catalog -- all squeaky clean, with brand-new gear.

If family is SOOOO important to Jill - why isn't she trying to find "mommy" - oh wait - isn't the story that she didn't come from money and "daddy's" family wouldn't approve - so that's why she was put up for adoption? That's why she isn't looking for MOM - MOM has no $$ to cough up. Some characters you love to hate...Jill...these days...you just hate...

Coug and Ladybug - Always like both your comments. And Coug I like your honesty.

Tucker wants to help out Jill because he wants to get his hands in the pot. He wanted Chancellor, still tries to get Newman, and now it looks like he's interested in the Foster dynasty as well, no?
As far as Jill, she's a grabbing, needy soul whose identity is whoever she's closest to. Have I got that right? I tend to agree w/Lauren, who had this Foster business all to herself and doesn't trust Jill enough to split it. Why then can't Jill etch out a life career for herself on her own? Harder than it sounds, yes. Maybe I'm talking to myself.
Jana returns, I see. Only to be rejected by now angry Kevin, who lost his beloved business now. Poor Jana. She gets screwed over by this "brother" Ryder (I always had my doubts). She trusted too much, I think. Just what Ryder wanted.
Learning seems to take a long time on these soaps.

I agree with you all. This "Bachlorette" turned out pretty good. I had my doubts at first: she hurt Chris, broke his heart. But he was still in mourning you saw, and his heart wasn't in totally, I realized. But she and this other guy are a 'match made in heaven' it seems. Hope no ones disappointed down the road.

ok, excuse me for repeating myself, but I get EXTREMELY agitated when Jill does the "poor me, I'm adopted" thing. I mean,, what possible good can come of investigating whether her supposed father looked for her? Chances are she'll be disappointed anyway.

I could easily find my biological dad right now if I so chose, but I assume that, because he has not sought me (and easily could if desired), it's better not to open that can of worms. I've lived my life up until now without him and have done just fine. It's better, IMO, to just make peace with these things and move on. (thanks for letting me vent)

Y&R made a huge point with Jill's attitude toward whether to stick it to Billy today. "He's just family," she quips, and goes right ahead with the betrayal. AAAAARRGHH

Susan~ Apparently, yes, Chance is leaving. And from the spoiler i read, the way they're taking him out is brutal.

rc smiley~ My first instinct is to say that Adam loves Sharon, and that's his true motivation, but then again.... there's always the weasel factor. Can't decide!

Mac's reaction seems out of character. Post partum depression keeps coming up... Have they verified this is the case with her? I'd actually be glad if they addressed this misunderstood condition (I had it horribly after my 2nd child), but I doubt they would portray it realistically...?
Mac should just have her own bebe!

Coug: Yes, Phyllis did kill Sasha years ago when all the switheroo was going on about Daniel's parentage. Also, I remember the rumor about Ashley being a man, probably due to the eyebrows like you said.

I hope I'm not seeing what I think I am seeing. chance is leaveing?? He is one of my favorites. As far as some of the couples go, boring JT and Mac,(Mac is just boring anyway). At least they go Neil and Ashley apart, really like her with Tucker.

I think that Neil and Malcolm's fiance with get something going. He doesn't like her now, but still think it will happen, payback!!!

What a fun packed show today....Jill pushed in the grave. Couldn't have been more deserving. And we got little bits of reality: Phyllis actually looked like she was caught in the rain. And Sharon was dressed like real people...shorts, tank and tennies.

I think Adam really loves Sharon and Skye really loves Adam...and I think there is a spark between Skye and Nick. I read that Joshua Morrow doesn't want Nick and Sharon together. Been there, done that...Nick and Sharon have been through all manner of drama, as an actor there would be nothing new.

I have no will-power...as soon as someone mentions spoilers I have to look it up. Yep, doesn't look good for Chance.

Bachelorette finale tonight. Wonder what kind of craziness they have in store for us.

Coug. - What a good point!

This Phyllis is a magnet for the troubles that beset her. She maintains a relationship with a husband still connected to his ex; on the road to help this husband in the blizzard of a rainstorm, she runs into a former disaster in her life, Deacon Sharpe, and kisses him. Then runs back to another ex, Jack, and upsets his present love, Emily who btw says Phyll has to think before she goes down the wrong path. Like, yeah.

Adam throws a wrench into the works by confessing that the shooting was his fault. What do you all think of that? Is it love for Sharon, or does he have something else up his sleeve?
I saw this much...Skye looks upset.
Jill looks like the unwitting leach in this Foster family feud with Lauren. She's just so needy.

Ugh, I just read a spoiler about Chance that makes me so sick, I can't even post it. And yeah, that fight scene was lamelamelame.

Loki - Yes, some of the cutest babies ever are on Y&R right now! Little scene stealers..

rc smiley - Yeppers, it was Nick who approached Phyll's car.

You know, I was sorely disappointed that Phyllis couldn't change her own tire and turned into an injured waif.... But I guess it was necessary for Deacon to come to her rescue. I have to admit, I like Deacon. Why am I always such a fan of the villains? Always liked Phyll for the same reasons (btw, didn't she kill Sasha long ago? fuzzy memory here). I think they'll be good together.
Call me crazy, but I swear Deacon was getting rained on WAAY more than Phyllis in those scenes..? He was drenched, whilst her hair was barely wet.

Years ago, when i first began watching Y&R, i remember this funny rumor that Eileen Davison was once a man. Did any of you ever hear that? It was probably due to the massive '80s eyebrows, ha.

So Sharon just randomly shoots her gun before knowing who comes in? What if it had been Nick? She was obviously spooked by the news of Patty's escape, but COME on..

lady bug - When Abby asks, "You want fries with that?" she'll have to say it angrily and in the same tone of voice as when Victor says, "YOU GOT THAT??"

"What does Heather know that the DA wants her dead?"
"I don't know. We'll figure that out later."
"And why does Christine have to hide her motives from Chance and Heather? Is it all gonna come together in a few days so everyone understands?"
" Naw, maybe we'll find out ourselves in a few weeks, eh?"
And the writers all chuckle.
Do you guys all feel the same way, that maybe they're having fun stringing us along on a nearly endless plot?

Great posts you guys! The Lily story is sooo boring. So is Mac going to do something crazy and try to kidnap the twins? Yes, the writers aren't doing a good job with the Heather story and I don't like how Cricket was brought back on the show in that storyline. Why isn't Nikki on the show more? When these characters aren't on the show that much you really don't care about their scenes when they are on. Phyllis' lines have been really good lately and she delivers them well. There is more chemistry between Nick and Sharon than Adam and Sharon. These scenes with those 2 are soo luke warm...not believable and Sharon needs to be a stronger woman and less weak. Why did she go to the cabin anyway. When she told Nick she was leaving I thought she was off the show.

AJ: Welcome!! That's funny, Neil needing a Midol...and true. He needs something for sure. -- I like Phyllis and Deacon together. -- About Sharon and Adam, you better get a bucket ready...LOL!! Like MaryBeth said, a lot of evil deeds have been forgiven and forgotten.

The Noah actor is on a primetime show called "Scoundrels". Eden is also on a show, a different one, can't remember the name.

What a spectacle today!! Everyone screaming and accusing each other, Chance trying to guilt-trip Chloe...all because poor Heather almost got killed. She almost got killed because she left the apartment knowing she was in danger...it was HER fault! And she just sat there like a five year old as Paul raked everyone over the coals for not protecting his little girl. She's the one who endangered the lives of those who were protecting her.

I hope Abby gets every cent of her trust fund and goes through it like water, until her only alternative is a minimum wage job that requires her to say "you want fries with that?"

Did we not all know that as soon as Nick said gun, someone would be shot? I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

I also saw a triangle coming with Neil/Malcolm/Sophie. Now I'm seeing another one Ronan/Chance/Chloe. A soap staple, brothers after the same woman.

Jeesh. That fight scene b'tween Chance and Ronan was the pits. I've seen 12yr olds fight with more 'spit and punch'. But hey, it's a soap and they have to be at work again tomorrow. When is someone going to tell Chance and Heather the truth? It's wearing thin, don't you think?

Well, is Adam going to die? Or is he going to "bleed the story" of how he was shot by Sharon, and "moan his last breaths as he tells the story. We'll see.

No surprise that worm Deacon showed....well maybe I'm being harsh. He just might have sincerely wanted to help Phyllis fix her flat. But who was that other guy? Nick?

Another chapter in the Newman/Abbot wars may involve a just compromise that collaborates the two working together. Just hope smilin' Jack don't screw it up. Also, don't some of you think Ms. Davison is looking matronly? I mean, she is a looker, but don't her hips have that aforementioned appearance? Just wondered.

Producers, please note viewers have brains.

Then, viola, he disappears into the DARK, POURING RAIN and we assume DRIVES A VEHICLE.

Acting so bad between our two police boys it was painful to watch, IMO.

Maine - Thu Jul 29 20:10:58 MDT 2010

MaryBeth,Chris was originally a model for Jabot. Her mother actually married John Abbott years later. Nina was her friend and she tried to help her when she was pregnant & when Nina's child was abducted.Chris was date raped and the ordeal made her decide to become a lawyer. Michael worked at the law firm Chris started working at and he harassed her until she caught his phone calls on tape and he was fired from the firm.

Michael lived next door to Christine and broke through a wall into her apartment and held her captive, Paul saved her. Michael went to jail.Chris and Scott Grainger became engaged, but broke up when she learned his dad was also her dad. She then married Danny and they divorced, because Phyllis said she had an affair with Danny while he was in New York doing a play and had become pregnant.Chris went on to reunite with Paul they were to get married when Phyllis ran them down leaving Paul impotent.They later married , but never knew who had ran them down. Chris later believed Michael had been reformed so she got him out of jail. They worked for the same law office, Chris and Paul started having problems and divorced. Michael became attracted to Chris and they became engaged. Paul became involved with Isabella who became pregnant and she knew he still cared for Christine. Isabella set Chris up to make it look like she had killed her. Isabella showed up and almost killed her, Paul came in and saved her and Michael in turn saved Paul and Chris. It came out that Micahael had set Paul up with Isabella so he could get Chris and Isabella went to a mental hospital. Paul and Chris remained friends, Danny came home and they dated once again and then broke up.

Kevin did some terrible things, but he also redeemed himself and it was proven just how badly he had been abused as a child, making many of his downfalls a little easier to understand.

Oh Phyllis. Adam puts a bug in her head and it eats her thinking till off she goes to the cabin no one is supposed to know about, and guess what? She gets a flat.
The charming Adam shows up when Sharon opens the cabin door.

Anyway, I hold my contention. Billy and Victoria are good together , and despite their familial differences, seem to get along and love each other famously (a run-on?) Nonetheless, as one who watched today's show has seen, Billy would not broadcast his knowledge of the bribe his wife performed in Japan. That's because he loves her. Go Billy. ("But that's wrong!

Kudos to Billy for not getting involved in family drama, and yet you can see that he knows Victoria is not being completely honest with him and she also knows she is not. I guess that is what will keep the Abbott/Newman angst going in their relationship.

Does Phyllis never learn from past mistakes? And Sharon did not make any moves to seduce Nick to stay the night out of the storm. I was not surprised, but some probably were.

She was a screwed up kid, she sleeps around. Looking for love in all the wrong places. I don't think Chance is the one for her, but they'll pair up for a while.

It's sometimes hard to believe that the actor who plays Victoria is the same person as a year ago. Did she just need someone like Billy to play off of? Can't get enough of those two.

Not a fan of the Vancouver 'Canuck's, LOL - Wed Jul 28 20:16:46 MDT 2010

What Chloe did was cruel and petty. I do understand her frustration though. The whole time Chance and Heather were "living together" Chance kept reassuring Chloe that he only loved her, blah, blah, blah. So what are his reassurances worth now? Especially since he's still hell-bent on being the one who saves Heather. Chloe had a right to be hurt, but not mean

I don't think Chloe and Chance are a good match, especially after seeing the chemistry she had with Ronan. But I guess Chance can figure that out on his own...without his mommy's help. Of course, going from Chloe to Heather is like going from the frying pan to the fire....but that too will be a good learning experience for him. In more ways than one. The guy needs some experience in the sack before settling down.

Lauren: I was rooting for the bad guy too!!! I was hoping he'd speed away with Heather, she would have deserved it. After all the effort and sacrifice that has been made to protecting....she just takes off like that. What a loser!

Lauren: Agree w/ you about Chloe. She only cares that she was hurt and does not seek to even slightly investigate the reasons why she was hurt. So she "spits in the face" of anyone having connections to the one who hurt her and doesn't allow the truth of the situation to heal her. Does that sum it up?
Now, if she said, "That's it, I'm leaving town for a while so you can mull over your feelings, etc," that would be great. But no, she'll stick her nose in everyone's business till her hurt's resolved and ruin the whole fed plan to catch the corrupt cops.

Victoria's hair did look better today and that dress on her- wow!!

Jill messed up again. We knew that Lauren's intentions were good- they were about relationships, not money. But Jill couldn't see that.

What about Chloe? That's a tough one. What do you do when your fiance cheats on you? Especially one who's been mr. perfect up until then and he's told you he cheated(he wasn't caught) and he was put under crazy circumstances- living in one room with a pretty slut. I think you at least give it some time to go through your emotional reactions. But Chloe was quick to revert to her old nature with her stupid stunt. Maybe Nina has a point and they are not really a match?
It's easy to be miss nice when everything's going well...it's when the going gets tough that Chloe needed to rally for the relationship. Chance was hurting as much as she was- couldn't she see that?
Or....is cheating just unacceptable- end of the deal?

When Heather was in the bad man's car I was rooting for him to take her away!

I remember when soap stars sipped liquor all day long, It's interesting to me how they have started sipping the hard stuff a lot at the club, but when in their homes they have a lovely glass of water from a beautiful decanter. Victor's gurgling glass of water really makes his mumble more pronounced.

Eric Roberts news says he has a marijuana addiction.Wiki says he's also had cocaine problems and arrests for assault. He's also the father of Emma Roberts, the actress.Wonder how they'll work the part for the trial lawyer?

But I don't see it any different than characters being replaced...i.e. this new Heather or new Abbey. Before long we forget about the old ones. Just like if he stopped over using words and stopped putting his hands in his pockets all the time it wouldn't be long before we didn't notice that he wasn't do that any more.

sillyfluff: You missed my point. If we want the characters to be realistic...and I do think we want that...then they would each have their own way of talking, using the same words and expressions because that's how real people talk. It doesn't really matter if Victor's words are ad lib or written, it would be weird and unrealistic if he suddenly started talking differently. When new writers come on the show they have to familiarize themselves with the characters speech patterns to maintain consistency.

RC: Isn't it odd how after many days of 104/105 weather, that 85 feels cold! I'm lovin' the cold spell!!

Funny how Chloe called Billy the town whore....LOL!! Actually, I think that title belongs to Heather and I'll add village SKANK!! I'm sure Ronan will be her next bed partner.

Eric Roberts, older brother of Julia Roberts and father of teen star Emma Roberts, has checked into "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," according to reports. No word on what type of addiction Roberts

What do you all think is going to happen to Chase? Cops and 'tectives on the take know he's on to them and they might muscle Heather (and Chloe, if she don't watch out). With his badge gone they could do him in too.

Well, they said Patty was leaving the story, and now we know how.

Alright but Eric Braeden is an Actor. Its not like he is socializing off the set ...then yes talk however you want. . Why should millions of viewers be subjected to his addiction to phrases and certain words? Why isn't the director behind the camera directing this person? Follow the script please. No more improvs and embellishing of words. Sheesh.

Ladybug: I embellished a bit on the story. After the tbi I couldn't remember the way I did ordinary every day things. Oh, I could write a check, change a tire, shoot a basketball, and of course knew my name. I developed new habits 'cause I couldn't remember the old ones (which to some was good). You said it right. Doctors called it "reinventing yourself". It was, and still is, an arduous task. But due to the memory loss, I can always change those habits (though difficult).

Ladybug: We all have our eccentricities esp in the way we talk. About 25 years ago I changed the way I did things, said things, and thought. Mostly because I couldn't remember the way I was prior to that due to a head injury. Some people didn't like the change. Well this is me, I thought. Anyway, what I'm saying is, like it or not, what writers did for Braeden is make him into Victor. I guess he's comfortable w/ it so they or he don't change it. Lately though my contention is, Change Is Good. It keeps us on our toes.

sillyfluff: There are only three things I am absolutely, positively, 100% certain of: 1) death 2) taxes 3) Victor Newman will ALWAYS be played by Eric Braeden. Actually, we, especially me, complain a lot about unrealistic aspects of Y&R. But, in real life, most people do have their own style of speaking. They use the same expressions and words. So, I think it would be weird if Victor started to speak differently or if he folded his arms instead of putting his hands in his pockets, etc. My dad, who is up in heaven bickering with my mother, I'm sure....when he was alive he had a slight German accent. He would always call my brothers "my boy". So I like when Victor does that.

What I find very annoying is when EVERYBODY uses the same expressions or fad words. Like a while back "don't go there". So glad that ran it's course. I remember way, way back everybody was up-talking. It drove me nuts. They would say every sentence as if it were a question. Like....I went to the library today???? I wanted the book "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"???? They said all copies were out but they had a waiting list???? I had them put me on the list????

It's 104 today and my brain is cooking??????

LOL AJ! Bulls Eye...Glad someone else is mentioning Pockets and his overdosing with certain words. Its such a distraction! You are right about the kindly word. Do you also notice how often he says alright? at the end of a sentence and K? K? It drives me nuts. And of course he can't do a scene standing without his hands in his pockets even if he is in a near confrontation. It just goes to show that he gets to ad lib his lines around the other characters lines. The writers wouldn't write his lines like that. I really think he needs to be replaced. Eric Roberts would make a great Victor Newman. He is a fantastic actor. I'm about to watch that movie Star 80...

In the news: Eric Roberts starts Y&R next week. Susan Olsen, formerly Cindy in "The Brady Bunch" starts in September. She will be owner of a pre-school...attended by Reed AND Delia. Delia is being fed miracle gro as I write.

My watching was hit or miss Thurs/Fri. Did see and enjoy Abby behind bars. Like others want to see her stay there for a good long time. Is it too much to hope that the whole story goes away. What kind of show will she have if she has no friends??? Was Daniel the only one available to be her friend?

I can't remember Nina's past...or another child. But I gather and I'm not sure, she had another child who is Ronan. That would make Ronan and Chance brothers? Ronan and Tucker can start their own "men abandoned by their mothers" support group.

Hi! How's everybody taking the heat? Seems the 90's - 100's are everywhere.
I know Paul is Patty's brother, and certainly cares for her as such, but seems to me he's just the enabler and doesn't investigate these statements of hers that appear to contradict the evidence everyone has. Do y'all agree?
(And) Dr. Em is making a mistake of attempting to help Patty except if she too investigates what she's hearing.
How long is this Adam scenario gonna go on? He seems to be a guy who's covered all his bases, so to speak.

How many health department violations were committed by allowing a horse into a restaurant???? (The only living animals allowed in restaurants are seeing eye dogs.)

You have really cheapened the show. And the same 'ole same o'le Pockets and Nikki getting hitched again??? for the umpteenth time. Come on!! That story line is with the dinasours...at least when he was with Sabrina and she with David Chow ...there was newness and energy there. Thats when Nikki was more dynamic and interesting. Nikki dear I thought I told you already...you need to (and Jill too) start wearing free flowing cover up outfits like the ladies on Golden Girls.

So Victor sends Meggie to Fenmore's for the essentials....don't they have a Target!!?? I guess she needs formal attire for hangin' around the ranch.

I like Meggie and love her meddling. I'm not too anxious to see Vic and Nic march down the aisle again.

Who thinks there will be a Vic/Nic wedding?
Who thinks Paul and Nina will be going on that romantic getaway trip?
I say "no" to both.

I thought Nina looked cuter with short hair. Her eyes stood out more.

I can't believe that two young capable cops are fighting over the job of guarding Heather. That job is right in line with helping little old ladies across the street or grade school crossing guard.

I agree with whoever said it....Chance cheating is not believable. He apparently had enough control and will power to resist every women he encountered his whole adult life, yet knowing that he would lose Chloe he couldn't resist Heather????

Hi guys
Great posts as usual. I laughed out loud about the jeans and t-shirts!
(My husband at the next computer looking at me thinking what's so funny? He's playing WOrld of Warcraft which seems like the polar opposite of watching a soap!)
I remember Cricket! To me she's one of the few who does look older.
But then I skipped a whole bunch of years of watching. But Sharon for example looks amazing- so naturally young.
Yeah, that church confession was WEIRD - are they trying to tell us that Sharon loves Adam??? If so, then back to the loony bin for a major tune-up.
Poor Nicky. If she does have some health issue going on, then I wish her well and what can you do. But the hair styles?? That's so easy to fix. At least she's blonde again. The dressy dresses might be a way to help slim her and establish her as the lady of the house.
Chance would NOT cheat!! After all those years as a virgin and the total goody-goody. Out of character...but I guess we're to think he's human after all.
WHy can't Meggie stay in an apartment with a security guard? Money's no object. Oh, cuz then we wouldn't have her interfering with the Newmans.
Nick and Sharon....single but not together? huh?
And everyone agrees about Billy and Vicky...our current favorites!!

This Meggie that showed up in GC is questionable

What are your views?
As a lot of you have said, Nikki is looking mid-aged (esp f rom the back). And that hair! Looks like the 60's. Hey, she's not the night club girl she used to be, right?

I love the comments about Nikki. She looks like she is constipated. I agree about the attire..come on ladies dress down, lounge around play some pool and drink a few brewskis. Oh right Nikki is a alkie. I miss the old Heather. One reason I liked her was she actually resembled Paul. Cricket hasn't aged at all since she left but Paul sure has. Tell me again why Chloe is living with Kevin? Why did she move out of Katherine's. I think the actress who plays Chloe over acts her character a little or acts kinda immature and too flirty. I don't know...and of course my gripps about Pockets hasn't changed k? k? alright? Are you expecting an answer everytime you say that? NO its not OK. Ughhhhhhh

I'm sure the Chance/Heather affair will get Nina's stamp of approval. Maybe she'll get the daughter-in-law she deserves...creepy, sneaky, manipulative Heather!!

Just what Victor and Nikki need to spice up their stale relationship...a brazen hussy houseguest. I'm lovin'it!!! But please...Nikki sitting around the ranch is dressed like she's going to a formal tea and she lends Meggie a cocktail waitress dress. I'm uncomfortable just looking at them! Ladies, there's these duds called t-shirt and jeans...really comfy and cute...perfect for hanging around the house.

Whoever said it...yeah, Sharon should go to B&B, they need some fresh blood there. Maybe Ridge will be in the market for a new love interest soon. And Hope should forget that fancy-schmancy Ivy League college and go to GCU. She'll be wanting to punish her mother and be bad too, so who better to lead her astray than new BFF Abby.

David...yes, I know. In real life Nina would be considered pretty by any standard. In soaps most women, certainly Christine, look like models...so the competition is tough. But I judge beauty inside and out. The fact that Nina can be hurful, thoughtless and rude, bossy, a know-it-all takes her attractiveness level down a few notches.

LADYBUG!! what a horrible, but true thing to say... yeah` give ole' Nina a new do, and frankly watching Paul, and Nina have the same bed was rather 'obvious' to introduce Cricket back into the fold... Nikki's hair made her look like a PYRAMID - I am trying to be nice to Nikki, but she is looking like a woman that just ate a bug.

I'm so glad that Sean Young is back, hopefully, full-time. She's the breath of fresh air that the show has desperately needed. Now Nikki...she's doing a perfect impersonation of someone who actually DOES have a stick stuck up their....you know.....

So they gave Nina a new "do". I bet they are trying to doll her up so that she can be competition for Christine for Paul's affection. They'll have to do a little more than curly hair to make her believable competition....maybe an extreme makeover.

Happy Anniversary to all the lovebirds still going strong .. way to go!

It's interesting Victoria has so much more fun and chemistry with Billy on camera than she did when she and her real life husband, J.T., were married on the show. Hope this doesn't cause a marriage breakup. That's what happened with the actress who plays Ashley.
Meggie (or Maggie) is the bartender that saved Victor's life. I like her character, perhaps Gloria and Jeffrey will give her a job at their new bar.
Nikki has to stop with the pursed lips and "I smell a dead rat" look. She does seem to almost whisper. Perhaps she had thyroid surgery and her scar is covered. My voice still isn't normal from mine back in March. The gland wraps around the wind pipe and that's why the voice can change.
rc: Looks like Sharon may be leaving town, but Nick won't accept Faith out of his life.

LadyBug: You make me laugh, esp re Christine and her hair. For, I don't know, 14 years she seemed to have the same hair. I didn't mind, but I see your point.

Jan: I agree. Vikki and Billy just seem to click. Billy seems to be the only one that makes Victoria loosen up and happy. But her daddy will be on her back about it till he's out of town or something.

Cactus: I think Sharon should leave town; pull up roots and start a new life somewhere (maybe in Calif.?) Phyllis will not return to Jack. Jack has Emily now (and Phyllis knows it); But Phyllis and Deacon? Can't that worm be in some other state?

Speaking of hair...we all know Christine is coming back. She better not have pin straight hair parted down the middle!!! It was always, always the same...her face looking through a parted curtain. I couldn't watch her without wanting to grab a scrunchy and pull it back into a pony tail or better yet, grab some scissors.

Maybe Nikki is sick. She talks in such a strained way, as if it's an effort. I remember way back when Roger Thorpe on GL started to sound weird. He had some kind of disease, Lou Gerigs I think, later died.

I agree, ladybug, as much as I like Nick and Sharon, I doubt that they will connect any time soon. That would be too predictable and boring. I think Phyllis *********SPOILER*************will have a fling with Deacon and you could be right about Skye. Although she does seem to care about Adam. I am really enjoying Victoria now, she has loosened up and is having so much fun in love. I wish she would do something with that mop of hair, though!

I know everyone wants Nick and Sharon together, but, let's face it, it'll be very boring...been there, done that, who wants another remarriage. I think it would be interesting if he hooked up with Skye. I think they have chemistry.

I wish someone would shoot Jill. There is nothing about this storyline that is remotely interesting. Just annoying....

Cactus- I agree - those two brief moments today were golden- Vicky declaring her love for Billy (hurray! finally)(the same day she broke up with him,no less) and Phyllis leaving. Boy Phyllis didn't skip a beat , did she?
Phyllis almost had me feeling so bad for Nick and thinking...no, you don't mean it, don't really walk out. But then I remembered- ah, I don't even LIKE Phyllis - so good riddance. Nick is not the best actor but I love him and I do want him back with Sharon.
Notice how they've had Sharon all angry at Nick lately so it won't look like he can easily fall back into her arms.
So, the writers still show glimmers of hope...but overall - OMG I so agree with all of you, my fellow fans. Like adb said "potential nightmare stuff" and Toots, " No need to have a soap with such abusive goings on" Amen. SOme intrigue, sure, some heartache, of course, backstabbing (figurative!), comic relief etc....but at the core AND LISTEN UP you writers- we want romance, family, beauty,
sex, glamour, relationship issues and characters we know and love or love to hate.
Coug - what a treasure you have in that old VHS tape. wouldn't it be fun if we could all sit and watch it together?
In defense of Victor. Victor is Victor. He's a mainstay. I'm glad when the same actors stay in the roles forever- makes it feel real.

Hi folks. I understand PattyCake divulged the information she knew about Adam, and confessed to killing Hightower thinking of course he was Adam. Well, finally! My question is why couldn't PI Paul see though Patty's behavior and question her himself on this matter?

Now that Lily's made an emotional acceptance to the possibility of death, is she now going to live 93 more years anyway? Gee, the way these writers write this stuff I'm not surprised. I'd like to see Ms. Khalil is something better. She's a good little actress and she's pretty.

Boy, for the PI that he is, this Paul must be a real dodo. Why can't he see, or question, how his sister knows "everything that happened that night", except that maybe Adam coached her through the air vent, scaring the crap out of her? Frankly, I was almost certain Patty's frazzled mind was contrived by her, either by guilty conscience or attempt to hide her culpability.
What's your take on the topic?
As a lot of us know, the writhers, er, writers are going to drag this story on and on, probably because they can't think of anything else for the moment. Right?
That Abby is a good shoot though, isn't she? Really cute and catchy for the topic of the shoot (esp those eyes, huh?) But her selfish goals for this fame is ingratiating, don't you think?

Wouldnt it be Great and I mean Make me Happy Great and probably all of you too ,IF!!! Adam got lost in the Air vents and died there and no one could find him ,(they cant find him when they need to so it would be befitting not to now) I would LOVE that to happen to that scum bag ,a long slow agonizing death.... AND now what will happen when they clean his room and see the vent off?? yep NOTHING they wont even use that as a defense for Patty!! AzzHole writers. Its truly a insult to all of us, and Im so serious about all of this, between Jill & Abby& Adam... Hate, wanna strangle & Really Hate.. I don't see one reason why to turn on Y&R anymore .I know many will say well then don't but it just makes me SO angry that they have made this program a joke. A Joke to all the loyal fans who have watched because it was the Best Soap out there . and Now ? all I can say at this point is the wrong Soap got canceled . I couldn't imagine a day with out Y&R a year ago, I have a small Tv that I would take with meevry where i went , even If I could only hear it I had to watch/listen to Y&R at all cost , not any more.. and that is really SAD ..So if this is the plan of the Y&R writers to have us turn our backs on Y&R and walk away they have succeeded . I dont see one redeeming story line that I care about or how it will end up.I know its make believe but at one time I WAS a Big believer in Y&R..

Oh I heard that Hope is coming back to Y&R Is this going to be Adams conscious? Blah Blah Blah!!!

C'mon writers, give us a break here. You mean no one else in the joint hears a voice coming through the vents? Puleeze. Here's something...why doesn't one of the elaborate staff reinforce the bolts on the vents,so all Adam can say is, "Help! I'm locked up here!" Well, maybe not.

Victor had black hair and eyebrows, Nikki looked gorgeous and elegant, and Nina looked EXACTLY the same. It was fun to see all this! My kids are familiar with the characters, and their eyes just about popped out of their heads when they realized who the people were and how they'd changed. My daughter's only comment was, "Well....

What kind of parents do that? I'm sure Ridge wouldn't have done it. We'll see how forgiving he is.

I like Oliver but can't stand that Justin Beiber hair! In five years they'll look back at their pictures and cringe. Have men learned nothing from the mullet??? That's why God made men go bald, he can't trust them with hair...they come up with ridiculous hairdos.

Nick....didn't he have sex with Katie while married or engaged to Bridget?

Back to Y&R...Nina badgers Chance about Chloe and encourages him toward Heather...we'll see how that turns out.

I don't even watch the Adam/Pattie craziness. That facility needs to be shut down by the health department. In the meantime, they need to reserve a padded cell for Jill Fenmore!!!

When I saw that Victor walks into Adams's hosp room I thought, "Oh Vic, don't let that scum fool you....get him to confess his intents. Do or say something to break his false "ticks". He's got to break! Remember, Patty might return to her crafty self and murder him (especially if she cracks from his taunting and she sees him - "But you're dead...! Stab, stab stab)
About "pockets" and men. The "man purse" or whatever it's called seems too improbable or impractical to some so that the usual pockets are the only way to store things used that day or week. Hands in the pockets (pun,lol), serves as a form of comfort when one doen't know what to do with his/her hands. Maybe Newman is so rich, having some one else to do for him that he doesn't know what to do w/ his hands. Oh, I'm sure y'all know this- - - sorry for being superfluous.

It's so ludicrous that I can't even visualize it as sinister.

Now we've seen Adam's evilness again: He puts the doll on the bench and tells the poor woman her "baby" was killed by Patty. Like I said, watch; Pattycake's gonna find out Adam's there doing all this stuff to her and .... she'll kill him. The only problem is that, if that happens, neither Vic nor Nick will see Adam get the justice for his crimes. Please writers, no Irony.

Thank you, MaryBeth. Our 143rd birthday and the Queen of Canada (Queen Elizabeth II) is here to help our country celebrate. She's in our Capital, Ottawa, Ontario. We celebrate the same as you, food, family, outdoor organized events. In my small town we have a community pancake breakfast sponsored by our Royal Canadian Legion, a tribute to our Armed Forces, local artisans show their "wares" in our downtown businesses, free entertainment in our downtown square, large outdoor Concert. People bring their lawn chairs and pay $10 to see great entertainment. Many towns have parades. My husband works for a U.S. company so he doesn't get today as a civic holiday, we have the 4th. Unfortunately, no Americans here to celebrate the 4th with!

ladybug: I agree with you for the most part, especially with younger children. But when it comes to relationship choices that are obviously unhealthy, there is no way I would sit back and watch my child "fall" and destroy his or her life. I would give my best counsel, then step back, let my child know that they are loved and I am open to dialogue if and when they want it. Nina, of course, is doing everything wrong. I think the writers have her out of character.

Please, no more torturing of Patti by Adam. I am wondering how Emily and Patti are going to be so suddenly written out. It looks like it's happily ever after for Emily and Jack at the moment.

The new actors are growing on me.

Happy Canada Day, Canadians!

Loki, thanks for sharing your experience. When my birthmother found me, we corresponded via mail for a year and she gave me space in case I wasn't interested in having a close relationship. I liked that.

Jill is SO emotionally needy and annoyingly desperate to "belong." She'd be wise to be thankful for what she already has. I know a guy who was left on a doorstep in Korea and adopted by an American couple, for example... How on EARTH would she deal with that?

Thanks for the info, Mary.

Oh, Nina. I used to like you. Please learn when to bite your tongue. Bottom line: Is your son happy? Then be happy for him. Hope for the best. He has already flown the nest, so let him make his own mistakes!! (or prove you wrong)

Y&R Fan: You didn't offend me.

Cactus: Maybe I worded it wrong. Of course Chance could be making a mistake (let's face it, it's a soap, it'll be a mistake) but, in real life....shouldn't we trust our children's judgment...not necessarily that they are making the right descision, but that if they make a mistake, they'll learn from it. It's the only way you do learn. I think a parent who believes in their child allows them to fall, knowing they can pick themselves up and it'll make them smarter and stronger.

Chloe and Kevin would be cute together. I don't think Chance and Heather are a good fit. I thought when a person had police protection that policemen, in shifts, sit outside their door and keep bad men out. Or sit in a police car in front of their house. Moving into an apartment together seems weird and too convenient for the writers. I can't imagine a wife of a policeman going along with that!!

However, as to "She must not think too much of her son if she doesn't trust his judgment" - I disagree. There are many, many wonderful sons out there who have made huge mistakes as to the women they get involved with. And vice versa.

We can guess at the upcoming scenario as love will not run smoothly for Chloe and Chance. Sexy Heather could prove too tempting for Chance and it's only a matter of time before lonely, vulnerable Kevin connects with Chloe. And this is not a spoiler.

Y&R Fan
- Wed Jun 30 17:37:08 MDT 2010

Y&R Fan: Dick Clark has had TONS of work on his face. Are you claiming that his stroke removed his wrinkles and made him look younger? Did his stroke stretch his mouth into a permanent, freakish smile that is too big for his face??? I know people who have had strokes and the damage it causes and there may be some distortion on one side, but they don't look like cartoon characters.

People make choices and choices have consequences. The consequence of choosing to be forever young are harsh. I would much rather look like Jessica Tandy or Ruth Gordon than Joan Rivers who will look hideous when she hits old age.

I was just thinking.....now that "nutty" Adam is in the same loony bin as Patty, she may see him and realize he's still alive and attempt to kill him. [NOTE: this is not a spoiler]
As some have noted about PI Paul and his investigative nature (ahem-grin) maybe this one time he'll figure out why his sister jumped on Adam to kill him and that way clear Nick. [NOTE: Again, this is not a spoiler]

Mary...wow, thanks for all that info.

Well, my opinion is that just because something is legal, doesn't make it right and vice versa. Jill is being selfish and self-centered. If she really wanted a relationship with Lauren she'd be understanding and give her some space. She wants instant gratification like a two year old. Even Billy is calling his grandmother Liz...sheesh.

And Nina has absolutely no class! Her feelings, that everyone already knew anyway, should have been kept private. She must not think too much of her son if she doesn't trust his judgement. Marriage is hard enough without a b*tch of a MIL undermining it from the beginning. That hurts everyone, especially future children.

Intestate Inheritance Rights for Adopted Persons
Generally, the court decree that finalizes the adoption ends the
legal relationship between the birth parent (also referred to as
the biological or natural parent in the statutes) and the adopted
child. There are, however, exceptions to this policy in some
States. For example:
• Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, and Maine provide for a continuation of
inheritance rights if so stated in the adoption decree.
• In Kansas, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Texas, and Wyoming, an
adoption decree terminates the right of the birth parent to
inherit from the adopted child, but the adopted child may still
inherit from the birth parent.
• Illinois allows the birth parents to acquire from the adopted
child’s estate any property gained from them as a gift,
through a will, or under intestate laws.
• In Pennsylvania, an adopted person may inherit from the
estate of a birth relative, other than a birth parent, who has
maintained a familial relationship with the adopted person.
• In approximately 14 States, if a child is adopted by a
stepmother or stepfather after his or her birth parent dies (as
long as the deceased parent’s parental rights had not been
terminated prior to his or her death), the adopted child’s right
of inheritance from or through the deceased birth parent or
any biological relative is unaffected by the adoption.1
Adoption by the spouse of a birth parent generally has no effect
on the right of the adopted child to inherit from or through
that birth parent. In 10 States, when a child has been adopted
by a stepparent, the child may inherit from either birth parent,
depending on the circumstances.2
The adopted child is treated by law as if he or she had been
born to the adopting parents upon the entry of the final
adoption decree. The adopted child, therefore, gains the right
1The word approximately is used to stress the fact that States frequently
amend their laws. This information is current through February 2009. The
States that provide for inheritance from a deceased birth parent are Alaska,
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New
Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
2Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Maine, Michigan, Montana,
South Dakota, Utah, and Vermont.

Intestate Inheritance Rights for Adopted Persons
to inherit from the adoptive parents and adoptive parents’
relatives. Adoptive parents and other adoptive relatives also
gain the right to inherit from the adopted child.
Intestate law often applies to adopted children who are not
specifically named in the will of the adopted parent. Usually this
occurs when they are adopted after the will was made and it was
never amended.
The laws in approximately 42 States address this situation.3
Generally, adopted individuals are included in class gifts and
other terms of relationship in accordance with the rules for
intestate succession.4 For example, if a will stipulates that all
children of the deceased parent are entitled to an equal share,
the adopted person is included whether or not he or she is
specifically named. Also, when a parent fails to provide for any
of his or her children, whether by accident or if the person was
adopted after the will was made, that person shall have a share
of the parent’s estate as if the parent had died intestate. This
last rule applies unless there is evidence that the omission was
intentional or that the parent provided for the adopted person
outside the will.

ladybug: You are right, once a child has been legally adopted, the birth parents have given up all rights. I expect there are children, like Jill, blood relatives, who go after inheritances. I don't think Jill should have any rights in that regard, but I'm not an expert in the law. Would be interesting to know.

RC: I thought the same thing...Pattie Cake killed Hightower. It didn't occurr to me that she was faking her insanity, but maybe. She does seem okay now. Boy, Paul is beyond annoying. How can he be a PI when he has no sense of curiosity or intuitive qualities. No wonder he never seems to solve a case. Sharon and Phyllis were better detectives than him.

Anyway...I hope it was Pattie. I just want Victor to be wrong. His smugness gets on my nerves. And Nick acts like the kind of people...shall we say "white trash" who are on Jerry Springer...no control over his anger or his mouth. Same with Phyllis. Wouldn't surprise me if they started throwing chairs.

Jill seems to forget she has a "blood" family, her children and grandchildren.

adb: I agree about Dick Clark, it was very hard to watch. He's had so much face work he looks like Jerry Mahoney!! He's got the fake young face but when he talks he sounds like he's 110!! Personally, I like the way very old people look.

Why does Jill have to go to the extreme? She isn't in need of anything right now having Lauren in her Life isn't going to make her any happier, No one can make You happy if you are not happy with yourself, and her of all people , She wouldn't act any differently if the shoe were on the other foot, She would even be worse with her treatment of Lauren. the writers always have to go to the extreme. never take the cautious wait and see attitude ,its always a go for the throat someone always has to be the bad guy first before any kind of redemption...Just another here we go again with a repeated story line ,

Right now, if Nick takes the stand the jury, and the DA,have him fried, considering his angry attitude right now. The DA will grill him on questions that will set Nick on an angry spin and the prosecution will have no other resort. . . . . that is, of course until Adam walks in.

Phyllis has to let it hang. . . . we all know Nick will return to Sharon. Her constant ranting on his concern for Sharon illustrates her obvious dislike for her. Phyllis will leave, watch.

If you want to know, my spin on the murder trial is that Patty killed Hightower, thinking he was Adam, then feigned insanity.

By The Way, Paul should keep his mouth shut and let Patty explain her dreams, then encourage her to draw her dreams.

I tell you, as an adoptee who was "found" by her birth-family (when I wasn't looking, and had no intention to do so): Jill's in-your-face behavior with Lauren is entirely the wrong way to go about Jill's family reunion need.

Lauren is behaving like anyone in her position. She needs time to even get used to the idea, and Jill's not giving her that space.

I'm curious...once someone is adopted, they are legally part of that family. And, whoever has given you up for adoption, has given you up, no longer related, no legal rights or obligation, etc. So what is an adopted childs rights regarding blood family...anyone know???? Can they claim an inheritance?

Wow...yes...Nikki looks so bad. Her hair reminded me of when I cut my own hair...always a disastrous result...LOL!!! Her hair matches her glum dispostion.

Hi from HOTTTTTT-lanta. So hot here for days and days on end. It just hits you in the face -like a slap. (All my container flowers -except zinnias - are dying or dead. Look like deep-fried brown sticks. Tomatoes doing badly too. But hot peppers and most of our herbs are doing fairly well.
Cactus - this AM my mom & I were discussing the twins, and both said "Oh - I hope they call the girl Tilly, Not Mattie. Tilly is just such a cute name. Tilly & Charlie. But jeez, we hope TPTB let Lily live and she & Cain raise the babies.
We wish Righteous Mac and Silly Billy would go away. Maybe go back down to New Orleans and back to building houses for the poor. Mac is a prissy pain in the wazoo, and Victoria deserves much better than that horndog playboy Billy. (It would never last anyway.) Oh, totally agree that the card game was so farfetched, beeeeyond any reality. And those suitcases full of millions - yah, right. All so stupid, it was kind of funny.

What was with Adam yelling "Shoot me -shoot me". I guess he wants the coward's way out of this whole convaluted mess. Well, if he turns his back for even one second I'm sure one of the "Good Guys" will give him his wish, and blow him away.
Hey - atleast this lonh drawn out seemingly endless storyline would be OVER. I'm ready for that.

We need a light-hearted silly s/l with those 2 googy grifters, Gloria and Jeffrey, for awhile anyway. And lots of lovely, sappy, sweet times with Cane, Lily, Tilly and Charlie. Happy stuff!!

Wasn't Michael also redeemed after digging through Cricket's wall? It's a popular theme on soaps... Luke & Laura, Jack & Jennifer (DOOL), the actor we know as Tucker as Patch on DOOL (much like Wartman,,, came in as a temp bad guy and was kept on as a developing character).

Great show Friday which I just watched online. It was so nice to see Cain so happy...and Lilly too of course. And it's nice about the cord blood and all.

I like the old names. I like them way better than the new ones. When I take my granddaughter to the playground all I hear is Riley, Brody, Langdon, Hayden, Towns (named after a jazz musician, I asked) etc. Yesterday there was a little girl named Clementine which I think is really sweet although I wouldn't name a child of mine that. I like Matilda...they can call her Mattie. Funny that Cain got to name both girls. Cordelia (reminds me of an Agatha Christie mystery)...now that's a name and a half but Delia is nice.

Whoever said it...me too...I was rolling my eyes watching that poker game....sheesh!!! What's the point!!! They are going to bet millions based on who cheats better.

Unbelievable that the writers think that something /one could get away with that WITH Men standing guard over the game.. Vic Need's to hire them to watch for when Adam gets to GC..right along with the Gate guards at Newman ranch ..... Matilda and Charlie!!!.. MATILDA !! poor baby.. that is a OLD OLD name, I guess its right up there with all the other awful name's that the Celebs name their kids who will hate them when they grow up.. My Mother called me Matilda and My Dad called me Step and Fetch it and I hated Matilda.. My Grandson name is Skylar.. FYI..

I've never understood why the writers made Phyllis much too normal just because Cricket left the show. She should have been doing crazy stuff all along. I'm sorry but Pockets needs to go. He is a lousy actor and delivers his lines like he soo doesn't want to be on the set. So mundan!!!! When he says OK? all the time I mean shouldn't the actors retort? Ummm yes OK vic umm not ok Vic. Forget the casting of eric roberts as a lawyer. I say lets make him the new Victor Newman cuz he is such a great actor.

HOLY BIRTHDAY CANDLES...I didn't wish you a happy birthday. I even had a reminder somewhere. Glad it was a nice day. You have a great little circle of friends and family. ANYWAY, may your new year be just wonderful, and a bit easier than last year.

Oh goodness, we never knew what evil antics Phyllis was up to. I'd like to see her get real revenge against someone again. She's a very good bad girl. It would be nice with Cricket back on the show, for the whole car "accident" story with Paul and Cricket would come out and whack her in the butt.

I'm guessing Adam will be her big case when she comes back to GC for a "big trial. We should start hearing some "Christine" name dropping soon. Do you remember how Crazy Michael kidnapped her and then unbelievably became her law partner. ONLY in GC.

Joanie if you ever lurk, hope your birthday was a good one back on the 20th.

Phyllis has done so many bad things especially back when she first came on: breaking up Christine and Danny, blackmailing the doctor she went to, running Paul and Christine down (left Paul impotent for awhile), made Danny believe that Daniel was his even though he wasn't, had Michael abducted, on and on and on.

Talking about Phyllis and her antic years ago. Yes, she tried to run down Christine and Paul, but she also set fire to the lab that did the paternity testing in order to kill that friend of hers that rigged the blood tests so it would look like Danny was the father. Does anyone else remember that? I think the girl's name was Sasha.

I discovered to my shock today that our Canadian station I watch in the early mornings is now the same as your U.S. show. But our station showing at 4:00 p.m. (when I never have time to watch) is now showing your tomorrow's show.

I thought perhaps Mac would have an early C-section to assist Lily, but it seems things might proceed in the usual Y & R way, a little miracle when it is most needed.

And why can't they give us some eye candy with the new actors? Chance's partner is a real let down. Seems like he will be a jerk, too.

Jana and Ryder ... is this a Patti Hearst scenario? Don't like.

Cactus, Phyllis and Mike had a relationship back when he first set up practice again after getting out of prison. He represented Phyllis in her fight against Danny over Daniel and she even moved in with him. Michael was representing Diane Jenkins against Victor and Phyllis got jealous and had Michael abducted. Michael thought Victor had done it, but Phyllis finally came clean and told him that she had set it up due to her jealously to pay Michael a lesson. Somehow they managed to get back together and remained friends.Some of this I remember and some I looked up online.

Sounds like a new job for Paul, trying to figure out who the girl was that Lauren's dad got pregnant and who ended up committing suicide, now what was the reason why she killed herself , was it because she couldn't deal with giving up her baby?

I remember Michael and Phyllis...it was a different actress then. What I remember most is that their sex life involved black leather and a whip. Where do you go from there?

Eric Roberts, living in his sister's shadow. I like him but have never liked her. To me, she's always the same, including Erin Brockovich and I don't think she deserved that award. I will have to bite the bullet when I go see "Eat, Pray, Love". It's one of my all time favorite books.

I still like Jill and Kay as mom and daughter I loved their relationship and Kay is making an effort to be motherly but Jill is self absorbed. I think things were going well when she thought Cane was her son she mellowed out some except when necessary ie; Chloe and Nina.

To set the record straight...Jill's real parents are Lauren's father and some unknown woman who killed herself. It IS a big bore and a really bad story. Jill is calling her mother "Liz" because she's not blood related???!!!and her mother is not even in the grave and she's chasing after her REAL sister because, apparently, her adoptive family doesn't count. I think all of this really undermines adoption. And, she's already Jill Fenmore...give me a f...ing break???

With the current divorce rate, being married to someone who has children with someone else is as common as rain.** Phyllis made her bed....and so on. If she wants a man with no "baggage" she'll have to find one who has never been married, preferrably a virgin still living with his parents...that would be...Dr. Tim Reid!!! I've always thought they'd be perfect together.

**Among mature people, these arrangements are usually amicable. I have a friend who's divorced and when he takes his kids for the weekend he also takes his ex-wifes son from her new marriage. His feeling is that separating the siblings would be punishing them for their parents mistakes.

Jill = snore.

Just when the storylines I like were getting hot, they default to the boring ones. Looking forward to a change.

It was much better, IMO, when Phyllis & Sharon teamed up and Phyllis was strong and confident about her marriage. I liked S & P's smarmy friendship they had going on. Nick's pining away about Sharon in danger is very annoying, though. This triangle will always exist because of the ties to the children. Too bad none of them can seem to deal with that.

I watched the very first Wonder Woman episode with Lynda Carter last night, and who was playing a bad guy nazi? - Eric Braeden! As many have said here before, his looks have improved with age.

I'm not sure I have Jill's parentage right yet. Someone explain. In any event, it seems anti-climactic.

What would y'all do if you were in Phyllis's shoes? I am thinking if she hadn't had an affair with Nick before they were married, she would not be so insecure. Either she has to trust him completely with the risk of getting her heart broken, or leave the marriage until Nick can make a decision as to whom he really wants. He can't have it both ways.

I have an adopted daughter. She met her birth mother on her 16th birthday. I am thankful to her bio mother because she chose to give her life. However, the mother wanted a very close relationship and my daughter said, no thank you, I'll be a friend, but I have parents. After a couple of years there was no longer contact.
Cactus
Alberta - Sun Jun 20 11:57:01 MDT 2010

Oh, adb... You naughty girl!! (i love it)

On adoption: I met my birthmother about two decades ago and know my bio father's name & location, but haven't sought him. After getting to know my birthmother and half-brothers, and having those relationships fall to the wayside, I don't even want to open the can of worms of seeking anyone else out. Everyone's situation is different, but in my experience, I'm SO glad my parents raised me. THEY are my mom and dad and always will be. I never even considered calling my birthmother "Mom." Though I must admit, meeting her explained many reasons why I'm the way I am behaviorally. All I know is that I feel extremely lucky to even be here, and to have the family that adopted me regardless of "where I came from."
(sorry for the long post)

Ladybug... I agree. Jill is so self-absorbed. I couldn't stand how she was grieving for her own loss while Elizabeth was still alive instead of making every last moment count and spending time with her.

Pretty much the only two shows I watch are Y & R and America's Got Talent. i LOVE America's Got Talent!! Too bad the Hoff left, but it's fun to see him on Y & R. I haven't seen him act since Night Rider! (..and the Spongebob Movie. Loved him in that).

Hi, Loki! :D Botox?? Really?

I used to watch DOOL when Tucker was "Patch." Love seeing him on Y & R; he's doing a great job. It's entertaining to see all the soap actors do musical chairs, jumping around from show to show like they always do.

Jill became CEO of Jabot without a college degree. I guess she took the "marrying rich men" route. Maybe that's why she's so bitter.

Again, she annoyed me. We all know adopted people. They sometimes have issue with their birth parents giving them up. But, for the most part, the people who adopted them and raised them are Mom and Dad...period. Calling herself the "adopted daughter"...fergodsake...what a self-absorbed drama queen!!!

Liz told this big secret so that Jill wouldn't be alone??? She's not alone...she has two brothers, two sons, three if you count Cane, a grandson and granddaughter. How is Lauren, who has never been her friend, going to be more of a family than the others.

I've been watching Y&R since day one and it seems to me that Lauren's mother would be about the same age as Jill if not younger. Correct me if I'm wrong....

I thought the same thing regarding Jack and Sharon traveling so quickly. Must be tele-portation. I learned that watching sci fi movies. You just step in a box and...wham bam...you're on another planet in seconds.

Funny how Victor had the foresight to take a brief case with a microscopic camera. And, I can't imagine any foreign bank being able to come up with millions of dollars in American cash. In fact, any American bank you go to only has a few hundred thousand in cash in their vaults. They keep the large quantities of cash in separate un-marked buildings. I used to work in one.

Poor Phyllie, how is she going to handle Sharon saving Nick. She might as well just have Michael draw up the papers....

Hi coug! Thanks :)

Adam was injecting Botox into his eyes.

SPOILER ALERT

Could it be ... Jill and [insert name here] are sisters? Our sweet Elizabeth and [insert name of lover here]. That the question isn't Jill's maternity, but her paternity?

I agree - Wings Hauser looks great. Better than when he was a younger man. I like The Hoff's nip/tuck. Don't know why he was dressed for the disco while he was in the hospital. A swan-song for his chest maybe, as the actor ages? I do love how, so many years later, both men were able to dovetail right back into their roles.

One thing bothers me, because I forget - why didn't Snapper and Greg pool their resources and send little sister to college?

When they have a big shocker like Kay being Jill's mother and then we find out that she isn't it's kind of like the little boy who cried wolf. Whatever they tell us now could change in a month.

Tucker and Ash really click. Both of them are acting their best talents when they are together. Tucker is a pretty good actor whatever he's up to.

I kinda felt sorry for Jill. She's been so darned mean and selfish as long as Jill's been a character. It's like she almost gets it now. HOWEVER I do not think she reallllly gets it, because we all know she'll come back to the same old girl sooner or later.

While I'm not crazy about the character Skye, the hair people have done a great job of doing her updos, she really looks very beautiful when she goes out to play poker.

I love Snapper back in GC. Can't we have him around for a while. Seems like he had his eyes redone and they look so much better.

It's "the Hoff". I just can't look at him without thinking about that video of him, disgustingly drunk out of his mind sloppily eating a huge hamburger. Maybe the head shaking is an alcoholic thing. But...his acting is clearly a cut above the rest and I'm enjoying that.

I can't get into Jill's situation. She is ALWAYS angry and distraught, what else is new. Watching it in full throttle is not entertaining. I don't even care what or who she is. She needs to grow up already.

After all the fine tuning and orchestration it took for Adam to pull off his "demise"...finding someone who needed a bone marrow transplant, who looks just like him, who has his same blood type, getting everyone at exactly the right place at the right time, etc...and now he can't even hide from Victor!!

I lived in Ohio for about a year when I was seven. Lived in a small town called Circleville, the pumpkin captital of the world...or something like that. I have a very distinct memory of going to Columbus for some kind of festival and hearing the song "Que Sera Sera" by Doris Day. I guess that really dates me...LOL!!

Maybe Adam will try to do like David Kimble and have facial reconstructive surgery and get "killer" carved into his forehead instead, we can re-visit that story line. Nina is available to kill him too..lol

right, and then lily will somehow come back to life -- having never really been dead in the first place -- and all hell will break loose -- JT will probably get custody of the twins in some perverse story line, so he'll end up raising his son and the twins, one of which is a girl and they will be attracted each other . . .

Didn't see any today, but I heard Victor is hot on the trail for Adam and his cohort Skye. He looked at a list of clubs on Skye's computer and went to search every one in Brazil.
Yes, Nikki is looking kind of matronly lately, but she's not the call girl Victor married 30 yrs ago. And Ashley...now that's one hot looking business woman. She better watch out though in old Nippon with Tucker.
'Scuse me for my ignorance: what does "OG" stand for?
Lastly, I do not know the probability quotient for amniotic fluid use of someone in Lily's case, but it seems Lily's survival, though in the balance presently, doesn't carry the weight of the twins' survival, so that writers should keep Cane in the States for their sakes, even if he marries Mac(after Lily's demise?). In light of that, Cane has to bone up on his relationship.
Any thoughts?

Then yesterday she was back to that matronly hair pulled up thing. Not attractive on her. She needs to loosen up and quit looking so "stuck up"!

Loki: When you were a little girl, did you have a man haters club? LOL! I'm just teasing you so don't take offense. I DID have a man haters club...LOL!!!

I have to agree with Deb regarding Cane. There has to be a balance between women having rights without taking away men's right. The mother is not more of a parent than the father. Although I am pro-choice I do find it disturbing that a man has no say in the matter. That is a flaw in the law, in my opinion.

Cane has proven to be a good, responsible parent. He was willing to take Delia even when he found out she wasn't his. Lily loves him and the babies will need him...sending him back to Oz is very harsh.

Taking amniotic fluid is a risk, but it is a small risk. Let's face it, there are many risks with pregnancy. The risk to the babies should be weighed against the risk to Lily...in my opinion.

I hope that Abby is so pregnant "The naked heiress got knocked up", HA! Well Ashley and Victor were always hooking up guess they were the OG's of Abbott/Newman tragedies.

I miss Colleen. With what Lily is going through and Billy's romance and JT's single status she would get some good airtime. Although I love Tammin Sursock, hell they could have brought another actress. killing her for that Patty/Emily s/l was a failure.

I say Cane should back the f*ck off. Those may be his swimmers in Mac, but it's her body.

Tenuous legal territory. Ethical territory? Not so hard to figure. Cane is going against his wife's wishes, and yes, pulling out amniotic fluid can cause miscarriage.

Cane is treating the fetuses as his memory/scrapbook, and his dear old friend Mac as nothing but an incubator that he can open and close at will.

I hope to God the character messes up his immigration status, and we never have to see his pouty face again. Selfish pr*ck.

Wondering how Billy will handle this new info..Newman's payoffs.
Interesting how chummy Nikki and Phyl are.
Thought Jill wasn't surprised ENOUGH when she saw Snapper. I also find it fascinating how the writers have moved the Jil/mama story to where Jill really loves her. Jill is such a bad girl..so mean to her mother, and when she came to talk about Jill being Kay's daughter, Mrs. Foster was so much chopped liver.

Anyone else had this nasty summer cold? Never ever get a summer cold.

Been watching Bachelorette. Didn't watch Bach..when she was on. She is very cute and very take charge. Didn't care for the guy that didn't get the rose. He couldn't enunciate clearly..just chewed up his sentences. Felt sorry for her trying to sparkle when she was so ill.

What a fitting tribute to a snobby, bitchy, kid who suddenly becomes a mother and Daniel wants nothing to do with her..... well I don't want to run away with this.
> Pinkie : In retrospect, I don't think Adam was ever really totally blind....I think Adam just milked it for the sympathy and excuse for his hehavior. The writers, I think, put in the 'blindness' for our sympathy as well. Very good.
> Finally, Deb - You're right about Cane and Lily. Lay off. Cane's the father and he should have last say, besides Lily.

> To all those who said this - I agree that Billy and Victoria are almost perfect for each other; their interactions, including the sudden unhampered Kissing, bed-sharing, and her affectedly coy conversations with him only feed such conclusions.

I am so tired of Mac and her holier than thou attitude. They do take amniotic fluid without problems. Just trying to make a big deal, so there can be some problems. I knew something had to happen to make problems worse.

Poor Sharon, I think she still has feelings for Adam. She and Nick belong together!!

I love Billy and Victoria together, good to see her loosen up again, slowly but definitely loosen up. I actually liked Adam I wish there was a way to make him a good guy, but in the end he may still get Sharon (fingers crossed).

I like that Victor is so active he is a jack of all trades. Him and Jack working together while keeping the animosity is wonderful to watch, they must remain rivals, I wouldn't have Y&R any other way.

Lastly a Cane/Lily comment. I wish they would acknowledge that not only is he making a decision about his wife but those are his babies too, the only ones he will ever have with her so no people it isn't easy for him and I wish they would quit riding him already. This couple has been through hell (which includes Neil) and they need a break soon! Thanks for letting me post.

Looks like though Jack and Victor hate each other they're always trying to save each other's lives. Here Jack looks for and finds Victor in the sinking boat. By the way, one would think the mighty Victor would be smart enough not to PLAY with an ELECTRIC RADIO in STANDING WATER. Not so bright, don't you think?

Now I know some of you think Billy and Victoria are the next Romeo and Juliet but their relationship appears to be one of tolerance, at least on Vicky's part, imo. And Billy Zip, though often appearing amorous, just follows her for information for "Restless Style". But they are great together, aren't they? Esp. in Japan.

That little snot Abby jumps in the pool with Daniel just for publicity shots; Why don't writers introduce a notion where people like Daniel figure out what she's up to?

Wow! You guys just made my day. Thanks so very much for the warm welcomes.

Lauren, so nice to meet you, neighbor! Looks like it's you, me, & adb (sounds like a sitcom) from the soggy PNW.

The kids are doing great! They started at a new elementary school this year and have made some great neighborhood friends. Eric's playing on baseball and basketball teams; Cass took gymnastics and now is playing piano. She'll also be singing in the talent show.
:)
We had a terrible scare in March when Eric got pneumonia and missed school for two weeks. That was hard. All better now, though.

Music... Oh, how things have changed. That's ok, though. I'll try to keep this condensed:
Dan (who's a mean bassist) and I both decided to sacrifice our music endeavors for a major project that started in '07. We stripped my W Seattle house from roof to bottom floor and flipped the whole thing ourselves. The work took a year and a half and we sold it after 45 days on market, in Aug '08. We then remodeled his South Seattle home and sold it in September '09 after 30 days on the market. These home sales allowed us to buy the perfect place for us on 5 acres. We're now about 40 minutes from Seattle and are constructing a music studio in our outbuilding, so once that's finished, gigs will once again be a reality!
This has been a difficult but worthwhile sacrifice. Prior to this, I hadn't gone for more than a year without being in a working band since age 15. I can't wait to get back to it!

So this is why I've been so busy and away for so long.

Re: Billy. IMO, he's a talented actor, which is part of the appeal. His look and attitude totally remind me of the Captain Kirk in the newest Star Trek movie.

I just about fell off my chair today when Chloe & Kevin said something like, "Why would Jana want to be with Ryder?" Then, immediately, they cut to Rider's abs. BwaaaaHaaahaha

Sorry for the long post. Thanks again for everyone's kind words! It's great to be back. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

I remember that on Guiding Light they did product placement at times, however they ended up going off the air, so I guess that didn't help them any.

I think Nick just wants to live near his childhood home in the country and there would be room to roam for his daughter and horses to ride at the stables, and the tack house isn't that tacky.

I have often thought if I won the megabucks what would I do and one thing would NOT be a big huge fancy house.Why spend all that money on something that could be gone in the blink of an eye.Look at the Gores they are ending their marriage and have to buy an 8 million plus home in California (you can't take it with you). I would be happy with a log home , some new vehicles (not a Cadillac or a BMW) and definitely travel the USA. The rest of the money I would enjoy by doing for my family ,and others who couldn't afford medical equipment, medicine, or procedures, elderly who need rides , snowplowing, oil in their homes, food. I would also help a couple young men I know of go to college,get their driver's license and a car so that they could finally have a good shot at a life they so deserve, but never have had the chance for.The money some of the politicians and celebrities put into these huge estates I think is crazy when I look at all the people who could all have an easier life and be so thankful with just some small assistance.To be able to do those things anonymously would be the greatest fun I could have. So how about you guys what would be the first thing you would do if you had millions?

Victor turned down the barmaid...for now. If he gets hurt and she nurses him back to health...games on!! Nikki finally smiles but it's only to influence the pilot and then it's back to the headmistress look...sheesh...

Great idea about product placement. They did it before with some kind of hand cream. Why not have whoever lives in Brad's house, go to Pier One to re-decorate. Maybe Abby since it would probably be consider low-class among the wealthy. Then they'd have some money to hire some decent writer's.

I DO NOT get it...why in the world is the Phyllis family cramped into a little tack house when she owns a luxury condo?????

A nice plot twist would be for Glo and Geof to lose all their money and move into Murphy's trailer and Billy can buy the condo...from Phyllis who uses the money to buy a decent house and Sharon can live on the ranch until...whatever....

I have to take the DA's side on this one. He is right, the Newman's think they are above the law. Nick continues to openly make threats even though he has been accused and arrested of murder. And now he's wanting the leave the country even though he's out on bail. It's as if they don't even consider laws. They all need to spend six months in the pen just for their pure audacity!!!!

Dear Y&R producers,
I have a cool marketing idea for you and you can have it for free.
Why not have product placements of a sort? But you can do it in a classy way that won't interfere with the show. Tell viewers that they can go to your website and learn about the fashions and home furnishings. On the website put photos and copy which tell us where we could buy particular outfits, accessories, furniture, etc.
Vary the price points from high to low. Voila- ad revenue for happy network (or at the least some free new sets - a whole room could be designed by Williams Sonoma Home e.g.), eyeballs for happy merchants, and shopping for happy viewers!
Sincerely,
Your Loyal Fan

Hi everyone!

Yes, pickles= pregnancy
Whole sleazy bar in Canada thing and Victor as thug- ridiculous.
Phyllis is a pill and Sharon and Nick belong together.
I also thought taking amniotic fluid is a very common, low risk procedure. No brainer, I agree.
Lady Bug, love your idea of Adam getting plastic surgery to look like Nick!( they better not do that!)
So Victor turned down the barmaid. Iw a s pleasantly suprised.
Hey Coug, we're neighbors! I've been out here 17 years, originally from Baltimore and I love talking about the weather.
I have so many stories- here's one: my son who grew up here, came home for Thanksgiving during his first year of college in So. Calif.
We drove home from the airport (in the rain and dark of course), he gets out of the car and says "You people live like this?!"

I think I noticed another "moss-back" in this chat room too.

LadyBug - As always I like your statements. Everyone agrees your psycho assessment of Phyllis was right on.
shoe - I think Nikki's deepened voice and somewhat heavier appearance (if I may), is a result of thyroid changes that accompany middle age in women. Yes, we all miss Nurse Connie, don't we. But ladies please correct me on this (more on this subject later).
Yes, shoe, I agree that Billy offers a lighthearted personality change for the characters, and a refreshing offshoot to Victoria. This makes their relationship enjoyable to watch.

Hi, everyone~

So great to see you all here. I must say i LOVE Billy & Victoria together. Without him, she's a stick in the mud and uptight. He brings out her good side. Billy is by far my favorite character.... Great sense of humor and vulnerable, yet strong.

I just KNEW that was Patrick Swayze's brother,,, thanks for confirming that. At first, I thought the bar maid was also Debra Winger.

Adam is tiresome. I haven't liked the actor since he replaced the first Adam. Please, get him gone and give us more Bratty Abby!

On the weather front: You know, I used to balk when people complained about the rain in the PNW, but now that I have 4 acres to mow and a vegetable garden, the rain has become cumbersome. Yesterday was horrible; fields around here are flooded and ducks are swimming in them where there was no water before. NEED SUN

What a scary story about fireman's mom and the teacher. I was almost hit head-on while driving with the kids a couple weeks ago by a girl who was texting. I just don't get it -- Why can't people wait to use their phones? Why do they ignore the danger?

Hope you all are well. Take care~

Victor is a convicted felon. I don't think the Canadian officials would appreciate his parachuting into the country illegally. Now Nick is planning to leave the U.S. to help Victor. Nick is out on bail as a suspected murderer. Must be nice to be a Newman and ignore all the laws.

I don't get Mac being so adamant over the amniotic fluid. We don't have our resident nurse here to correct me but I thought an amniocentises was as common as rain. If the doctor thought there was any kind of problem, he'd order one in a second. I thought the risk was very minimal. They are comparing it to Reed, even though the risk to him was very great. Lilly will surely die and the babies are at a slight risk...it's a no-brainer. If Mac was so prone to miscarry, she shouldn't have volunteered to carry the babies in the first place.

I think that Jill and Nikki look good for their age, but, they both have unattractive attitudes. Jill is always angry and Nikki hasn't cracked a smile, that I can recall, in months. She's had the nose-in-the-air attitude for a long time now. I actually thought she looked best when her hair was cut short, a long, long time ago.

I have read Victor gets involved with the bar owner. Find it hard to believe he would do so, but keeping reminding myself that's what Soaps are all about. Victor always has to go off and have a fling from time to time.

I am wondering if Mackenzie will ask for a C-section early to access the amniotic fluid without risking the babies.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Billy and Victoria get married again in Japan? Enjoyed JT's parting line, "Don't drink too much sake and get married."

I read somewhere that Chance will be getting a new working sidekick soon too -a new man on the scene! (I suppose Heather will latch onto him right away.) Orrrrrrrrr -maybe Chloe will get a roving eye!
JMO - I like Chance and I like Chloe, but I just don't feel the Chemistry of them together, ya know?? For starters, he's just too dang tall for her, so their kissing is so awkward :o*.

So Adam is in Brazil. That's where both Pattie and Sarah got their identity changing surgery. Maybe Adam and Sky will get the two for one special and come back looking like Nick and Sharon!!! That way Nick (aka Adam) can hook up with real Sharon.

Does anyone else see romance ahead for Victor and the barmaid????

RC: Regarding Phyllis's jealousy...she is jealous, possessive and insecure, but more than that I think deep down inside she thinks she deserves to lose Nick. After all, she took him from Sharon when Sharon needed him most. I don't know how anyone can live with that.

I guess if the Newman billionaire kids can live in the tack house and hired hand cottage, Billy can live in an old trailer. Then there's poor Sharon, she's been virtually homeless since divorcing Nick many years ago.

Victor was dropped off in Ottawa, where apparently Adam had been dropped off too. I imagine every city has it's share of sleazy bars.

I think they need a new set designer on Y&R. Like Billy's totally corny over-the-top 50's Kitchy little trailer. And as if rich boy Billy would ever stay for more than one night in a joint like that!
What's the point?? We're supposed to buy into this whole schtick for what reason? So anytime and everyone can just waltz in there any time of day or night??
BTW - I wondered about "The Pickle Jar Scene" - was that a subliminal message that Victoria is perhaps pregnant by Billy already? Well, if she starts barfing on the plane to Japan, we'll have our answer to that burning question.

How 'bout "Zip it Billy"? He drops by to say hi to Vicky and they can't keep their hands off one another. Little afternoon delight? The investigative mind couldn't stay away from the open door as Vick was on the phone. Like 2 say I hope he keeps his mouth shut, but we know better don't we?

Phyllis is just filled with jealousy over Sharon's presence. Maybe you ladies understand, but can't she just chill till Sharon gets better? She's got the best facial expressions for her feelings, don't you think?

I sure hope she lives, but if she does, I'm sure Nick will jump on his white horse, and move in with her, to watch over her recovery, and to help with Faith. Let's face it, he IS going to end up back with her.

Have any of you seen the documedntaries on "Hoarders", on A&E or on DiscoverHealth. Uuuuunnnnbelievable!!!
Now That would be a great new storyline for Y&R. Turn Gloria into an OCD Shopaholic/Hoarder. Hey, she could be a Kleptomaniac too!!
Skulking around GC, Milwaukee, and Chicago, in assorted weird big hats and sunglasses--and of course a very large purse.
(Maybe she can convince Jeffrey -for awhile - that she is getting all close-outs and bargains that they will be able to make money on, on E-Bay.) The purchases and boxes, and deliveries from HSN & QVC will soon stack up so high against all their walls, that we'll just see the top of her little maroon head bobbling around through the mazes she has created. Now that would be an entertaining s/l for awhile. (I AM NOT making fun of serious ill hoarders - just spicing up Y&R!!)

You hit the nail on the noggin, Cactus.
JT should cut some slack on Victoria's character, since her actual motherly character prevented her from repeating(hopefully, see Monday) her behvior, such as illegal marriage in happy Jamaica. Besides, JT's apparent hatred for Newman behavior might have inspired JT's assistance in Tucker's plans.
BTW, Tucker appeared on the scene about the same time as Adam's evil works, so Tucker's influence in Chancellor and Newman may have something to do with Adam's influence.
What do you think?

Virginia Beach, VA - Fri Jun 4 16:24:59 MDT 2010

What I disagreed with was those who claimed that adults having sex (Chloe and Chance) and JT and Mac just talking about having sex was AS BAD AS what Billy and Victoria did. It's not the same thing. If Chloe and JT were angry at Billy and Victoria because they were having sex, THEN they would be hypocrits. Keep in mind, Chloe lied about the paternity of Delia (which was wrong) because she felt that Billy wasn't responsible enough to be a father. Because he has been a good father she probably thought he'd changed some and was disappointed....and yes...she was also jealous. JT had the opportunity to get into Victoria's computer to do the illegal thing, but he chose not to and told Tucker he couldn't do it. I don't know...if it were me in a custody battle, I would walk the straight and narrow, I would become a Sunday School teacher...

I wonder if Jana has Stockholm Syndrome...that is, I think, when the prisoner falls in love with the one who is holding them captive. But, I don't care, I want that whole thing over already.

I think I missed something...why were Phyllis and Sharon in the corn field???

I think it would be harder for Chloe to explain at some date all that she did to trap Cane into marrying her when he didn't love her and he wasn't really the father, because he never actually had sex with her and he wasn't actually related to Jill or Billy and Chloe didn't realize it, but to keep his cover he had to go along with it even though he loved someone else who was seeing Delia's real dad!

Houston - Fri Jun 4 14:31:50 MDT 2010

Chloe is more upset because of her own feelings towards Billy, IMO, than surely thinking a two-year old (or less) is going to be upset because her father went on a drunk and was illegally married. I'm sure Chloe would not try to explain what happened to her, nor would Delia understand for years to come yet anyway. Chloe knew Billy was a wild one when she married him to be Delia's father. As far as we have seen so far, Billy has been a caring parent to his daughter.

JT should have some concern because Victoria should have let him know she was out of the country in case of an emergency. I don't think what she did when away should be so much his concern. Victoria has not been portrayed as an irresponsible mother or person prior to this time away with Billy. Surely JT knows her better than that and can cut her some slack. Is JT doing something illegal for Tucker any worse than Victoria having a lapse of judgment during a very stressful time in her life?
Cactus
- Fri Jun 4 13:51:29 MDT 2010

I must disagree...it is perfectly normal and acceptable for an adult couple who have feelings for each other to have sex privately. It would be abnormal if they didn't. Without going into details that some of you would not enjoy hearing, JT and Mac could have sex....but they aren't. Taking off, out of the country, where no one can reach you, both having small children, getting so drunk that you get married....that isn't normal behavior for adults. I'm not saying it's evil or hugely immoral...it's just irresponsible. As parents, Chloe and JT have a right to be concerned.

Jana is SOOOOOOOO getting on my nerves. What she is doing is bad enough, but that zombie behavior is so annoying.

Jam: I wanna be like your mom when I grow up!!!! I agree, Lauren needs a makeover.

Regarding the hair styles Jills looks a lot better.
We never know if they are wearing a wig.

Someone mentioned the Bachlorette which I've been watching. They really drink a lot of wine or maybe it's apple juice. I like Kasey from Clovis Calif. He seems quiet and not a fighter.

My weather stick came in the mail but I'm not sure where to hang it. No mention if it should be in the sun or nailed to a tree. I'll naile mine to the garage on the West side of the house where I can see it better.

Jean, that's what I thought. They all thought she meant Paul HER brother, but she meant Emily's brother.

We could call them the DG's and the boys are the GD's (grave diggers) . Detective Girls are full of great posibilities. With all the history there between them, they have lots of worldly experience don't they, and they could share custody of Nick. I guess Sharon and Phyl could share the Nanny to, whats her name Gabriella?

MaryBeth : It's TV, and it's a soap! They could finish the Empire State Building in a day! LOL, not really. I love the term 'DG'; and the you noticing the 4-inch on the girls was great. And in a cornfield, no less. Geez. Plus, Sharon grabbed the receiver. Suppose she's the only one since Adam to use the phone last? "Dust for prints" and hers appears, how smart. Don't writers think of this stuff? Geez.

Oh yeah. A shame about Rue McClanahan,huh?

Pinkie : Re Patty's complete forgetfulness, esp with what you mentioned. Some people call that 'selective forgetfulness'. As I watch Patty answer her brother's questions, I think to myself that she's still hiding something, but don't know why. What do you think?

Okay, I'll give you they were boots. Ridiculous. I love they are playing detective, but we need them dressed and ready to roll.(Anyone read Plum Mysteries by Janet Evanovich with Stephany and Lula? now they are ready for action)And I'm doubting Victor & the grave diggers could have gotten that done so quickly.

(And) that includes Abby. This sly fox Kent is stringing her along on his quest for her money, then he'll drop her like a stone. Abby, however, only sees him as helping her get back at her wealthy family. How much you want to bet she'll be disenchanted wreck when he's finished w/ her?

Hi chatter pals~~'tis Jam. I was up in Milwaukee for aweek visiting &staying with my mom. My mom is still doing great. 92 but looks about 78, acts like a spry 60 yr old. My sister & husb. are retired now and spend alot of time with her. The lunch, shop, go to movies, and when I ws there we 3 helped her assemble a wonderful patio Container Garden. Lots of herbs, few tomatoes, may flowers and 3 hanging baskets.
My husband and I have a huge container garden on our deck also. But the endless rain in Atlanta is creating some problems. (Right now we are in the midst of 7 days rain.... Again!

I am much more pleased with Y&R now that we are done with that seemingly endless AND totally rediculous tale of Jana/Lauren,Ryder/Daisy ETC. Well, Almost over, huh?? But hey, atleast for the moment we don't have to look at caged people, and/or nutcases in padded cells, on a daily basis.

Give me the bratty Abby story, the corny Jamaican wedding plot, and the endless Jill/Kay squabbles anyday. And I'm even looking forward to seeing how the return of Adam plays out.
I'm planning to FF thru the whole Jana/Ryder fixation, and also any of Lauren's badly acted Anxiety fits. (IMO she needs a whole new look: lighter make-up & get rid of the Jersy-Girl hairdo & dresses.

(meow -can you tell am on Mega antibiotics and steroids, for an infection?? Arghhhhh.

Toots: I was thinking the exact same thing regarding Victoria's hair. She always looks, lately, like she just rolled out of bed. Maybe they are trying to make her look...I don't know...more casual??

RC: I believe "Lilly" is off because she just had a baby. Don't know if she'd start a new serious right at this red hot minute with a newborn. But, I have been seeing "Noah" on ads for a new series on the Cartoon Channel (which my granddaugter and I was everyday) it's called "Natural History" and sounds kind of interesting. I also saw an ad for a movie/or series, can't remember, but I think I saw "Eden" in it. I think it was called "Scoundrels".

Well, I am glad that they didn't have Victor dropping a coffin out of the sky at night that could easily kill and destroy. It would have been so irresponsible.

I know this whole thing seems unlikely, but....even though the Vicky / Billy marriage has been found null and void now, don't some of you think that Newman/Abbot marriage would be a real hoot? Fodder for the family wars to provide upcoming scripts, and for you, sillyfluff, a nail in "mr. Pockets" coffin? Just a thought.

Now that we've heard Lily's conversation with Caine from France, do any of you think Ms. Khalil will move on to a TV series part or one on another soap sometime this year?

I was checking out some other sites and they say that Victor did indeed push the container with the remains out of the plane, but that the plane was still on the tarmac and that he only pushed him out the loading door and back down the loading ramp, because after finding out how Adam had taped them and so on that he didn't think he deserved to lay at rest by Hope.Must be nobody would then claim the remains so they buried him in a paupers grave.
Mary
Maine - Tue Jun 1 20:14:53 MDT 2010

Billy boy may truly be in love with Victoria, but Victor could drop him like a spoon and not even blink. He better watch out when he's around papa.

All this while that snot nose Abby tries to get her inheritance that, by the way, she'll never see because of that shifty guy stringing her along (as he sits in the back of the courtroom with the fake camera glasses). Good for the judge who could see through the Abby charade.

What d'ya know.....Patty knows there's two Adams (as she also compares the other false "pairs" on this show). However, do you think Patty knew she was killing Richard Hightower, or did she think it was Adam? My money's on the latter, but she might have killed Hightower (out of obedience) to keep Adam from revealing her secrets.
Either way, Adam is sunbathing somewhere in the Caribbean.

Oh, and I had forgotten all about Mr. Palin, Mary M.

Ok, I just watched today's episode and Nick and Victor are talking about exhuming Adam's body from the "Potter" graveyard where he is buried. Yesterday they said he was buried there because he was declared a ward of the state because no one would claim him. So who did Victor push out of the plan in a coffin??? Are they really goofing up on this show or will it be explained?

Ruidoso, NM - Tue Jun 1 13:48:18 MDT 2010

Yesterday Nickie said that Adam must have drove up to meet with Hightower to do the bone marrow transplant. How did the blind Adam manage to drive "himself" ?

Does anyone have the feeling that perhaps Mr. Palin isn't dead after all? The prosecuter mentioned Palin yesterday when he was relating his reasons for having it out for the Newman's, it made me wonder if there is a reason why his name is being brought up again/ Also who was the guy in the lobby watching Emily the other day? I thought at first it was the Hightower guy, but obviously he is the dead guy .

Mary, what an accident! Fireman said she was a tough lady, I guess she is. That other driver must have been in la la land to hit her that hard...spinning three times. EEK. I hope she really is okay. Do you think she will drive again?

I'm noticing the show is getting so top heavy with young'ns. It must be cheaper that way. I'd like to see more older characters showing up. I hear Sean Young is going to be a tough waitress named Maggy. In real life Sean has been a real drama queen.

That's too bad about your MIL, but she was very lucky. My granddaughters art class teacher had almost the exact same experience. A young lady t-boned her on a busy road. The girl was TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE driving her MIL's car!! The teacher's injury was a little more serious. She's hobbling around with a case on her knee.

Here in Maine the weather is great, but we are receiving a lot of smoke from the Northern Quebec Canada wildfires (about 62 at noon today). It is dry and windy here so everyone with outdoor fires (even cooking fires) have to be careful. Fire Depts. all over the state have been receiving calls from concerned citizens that there is a fire somewhere near, but it is the smell and smokey haze from Canada.

Fireman's 82 year old mom was hit (car was t-boned) around noon on Friday by a young woman entering from another road on the left of the road Fireman's mom was traveling on. The girl failed to see her and crashed into the driver's side of the car hitting the t -support between the doors (some of the front door down low) and doing a lot of damage to the rear driver's door. Fireman's mom spun about three times in the road and then into a ditch. It is a very busy road so she was very luck to escape with just a small scratch on her left leg. Thankfully she was wearing a seat belt and I dare say that saved her many injuries, perhaps worse.

So buckle up this weekend and have a safe one.

Hoping everyone has a safe and pleasant Memorial Day weekend.

Went to see Victoria Rowell last night at Barnes & Noble with my mom. She did a reading, question and answer segment, and signing with photos. Shared stories about Y & R and said that Eric Braden was her favorite person on the show. She said that when mistakes were made by others or himself he would have an awful time to contain laughter until the end of the shoot. She said that where Victor's persona is always so sober and straight faced that it was hilarious to see the real Eric come out.She said she had lunch with him lately and that he is thinking of writing his memoirs.Sharon had a dressing room across from hers and she was friends with her and liked the way Sharon if she was having a bad day or things or "people" she was on set with were getting to her she could just let it go by the side and go on.

She also said that Melody Thomas Scott can cry on cue, no problem.Many times other actors use eye drops hidden behind cushions etc. to get the effect of tears or a makeup person will blow menthol into the actors eye area to get them to tear up.She said that Neil and Ashley just isn't right, cause everyone knows Dru is coming back up over that cliff one of these days!

He first book, "The Women Who Raised Me" is being signed by HBO for a mini series that she is going to help produce.

Her nephew that went to UMO with our oldest daughter was there to surprise her and I chatted with him for a bit and took some photos to send to my daughter of him and his aunt.

I thought I didn't like the first Abby, this one is even more spoiled and irritating. I'm sick of seeing her, hope she gets put in her place soon.

They won't be able to check the DNA on the body they thought was Adam beause Victor pushed it out of the plane and it is not in the grave, so they can't exhume him.

Ruidoso, NM - Sat May 29 06:39:39 MDT 2010

RC: Don't forget that JT and Victoria are parents so they have to act responsibly. JT would take his time with Mac before making her Reeds step-mother. Getting so drunk that you impulsively get married...not so responsible.

Is that Survivor James from the last season?

Speaking of Billy/Vicky, oddly enough my comcast home page had an article about them saying they were not so hot. They blame Victoria because of her "humorless acting". I agree, her attempts at being funny and silly seem very forced. The article said that Danny and Abby's single kiss showed more chemistry. I don't know about that. I do think the bantering between Billy and Heather showed some chemistry and seemed more natural than with Vick. JMO....

Hello, Y&R-ers -

Phyllis has the right idea to THINK LIKE ADAM to understand his motives. What is it Adam wanted from Hightower to donate his bone marrow ? His ulterior motives drives Adam to do anything. We all thought he was still alive, and as we found in the last 3 minutes, he is!

Billy still has the hots for Vicky (well maybe for anyone) but I see hypocrite JT gets upset when he finds out about the wedding mistake photos. Yet what about he and Mac? He's just holding back 'till Mac has 'obligatory birth', if I may call it. I bet he'll like to have her in the sheets soon.

Did you know? Survivor James Clement will be cop on June 4, talking to Kevin, Daniel, and Jack.

Finally some new stories on this soap.

I agree w/ you all. It would be really neat, and fodder for Abbot/Newman wars, but the Billy and Vicky romance would be terrific. Besides, yes, they are cute together.

That snotty Abby better open her eyes to that slithering boss of hers. He just wants the cash. She'll just be another name on his list.

Bridget: re the "tear you clothes off" stuff....the bra usually
snapped of first. (sorry)

BTW: I'm glad Obama placed a moratorium on all offshore drilling. I know McDonnell (VA's governor) won't be happy....that was his election platform. But the Navy put the nix on that for the shipping lanes.

Bridget: Yeah, in reality, in my day, it was the girls top and bra that was the first to go, but this is TV.

I too didn't get Y&R yesterday and I'm watching/listening to it as I type.

Amber STILL crying!!!! I'm glad it's over. Maybe she can get a job as a security guard at the boarding school that Eric will be attending.

I hope they don't claim that a bone marrow transplant changes DNA!! Hopefully, it will just get Nick thinking.

My two cents....I thought it was a very reassuring press conference. The thing that I didn't know is that we, the U.S. have had to keep going deeper and deeper down to reach oil, which is why the risks keep getting greater. As horrible as this thing is, and only the people living on that coast really know...I think this is a wake up call. We just HAVE TO get off oil dependency and find safer sources of energy.

Oh Jana....not Ryder. Now if Jana remains in her current state and Ryder (who has never shown any emotion) get together, that will be a real snooze fest!!

I'm mixed on nuAbby...she's interesting, but it's a bit much. This is why I like characters like Mac, to counter the over-the-top cutseys!!

I hope Jack talks to Ashley before investing in Abby's venture. It would be totally irresponsible, yet not surprising for Jack to sacrifice his own niece's well being just to get to Victor.

Passionate "tear your clothes off" sex doesn't last, burns out too quickly. (If anyone disagrees based on personal experience...do tell!!) Sweet and gentle is more enduring.

When re-conned Abby was introdiced about 2 (?) years ago, she was 14. She is supposed to be 16 now. So now she is ret-conned to 18? And her parents are going to send her to that crummy Genoa City University?
Loki

No, Nu-Abby was NOT fast-aged -- she's STILL a teenager in this storyline! If they fast-aged her to the 30 year old that she is (and a Mom, to boot!), then they wouldn't have this insipid story-line of her wanting her trust money "now that she's 18"... Gag me with this impossible to believe situation...

And this thing with Lily has me so puzzled... Cristel is going away presumably for her maternity leave, but she looks like she already had her baby! She was all round & full looking before this past week, always hiding behind purses and pillows in her shots to hide her pregnancy, but now she looks thin again and is shown in her entirety, looking thin in form fitting clothes... She had her baby late-April, it's only late May now, but they supposedly tape 3 months in advance, so technically these scenes were shot in late February, 2 months before she gave birth... So I'm confused... It really looks like she had to work and tape scenes after she'd already had her baby... Her appearance has been that drastically different...

"The Man at the Bottom of the Stairs" 1- Could this be the mystery man we've suspected to be Adam's real killer? He appears to have an interest in Emily (or whom he might think is Patty). Hey, at this point who knows anymore?

Well, Lily's off to Paris (and not Texas,ahem), for that clinical trial. I guess we'll see Ms. Khalil in some movie somewhere soon. In fact, I hear a lot of people are moving on to other things. Good. Silly Fluff, I know you'd like pockets Newman to be elsewhere, but what then?

>1- Sounds like a name of a movie serial, doesn't it? "The Man At The Bottom Of The Stairs", starring Fredrick March, or Jimmy Stewart; directed by Arthur Hitchcock. Just being silly. Maybe worse.

Oh, and we all suspect Adam's alive somewhere, right? Any ideas where or as whom?

Ashleigh I just read that her baby was born at the late end of April. I noticed she looked thinner the other day. It's a mystery. They way they were going at the goodbye today, I went looking to see if she was leaving forever.

Nu-Abby is a very different character as is Nu-Heather. Abby was supposedly fast aged which is very obvious.

As to Adam, I think the guy that was killed was not Adam, but was that semi-look-alike Hightower guy.... And I think Patti offed him, thinking it was Adam, because awhile ago she said "I took care of Adam"...

Also, what's with the new Abby? I like the actress enough, but she's a 30 year old Mom, trying to play a ditzy teenager in high school! Give me a break, she's WAY TOO OLD!!!!!!!!!

Sharon needs her own man, someone not named Newman -- the writers should put her back with Billy, although that's another brother of yet another former husband, so maybe not...

I can't stand the new Malcom -- he's nothing more than a street thug who can't act his way out of a paper bag! I realize not everyone is going to be as fine as Shemar Moore, but this recast is the worst!!

How could DNA tests 6 years ago prove that Jill was Kay's daughter, but now, they prove that Tucker is her son instead?

The writing is getting worse & worse on my beloved show...

Did Cristel Khalil have her baby before she went on maternity leave? She looked full and round while pregnant, and always had a pillow or purse covering her, but this last week, she's got a thin face, and form fitting clothes on... Today she takes off for Europe, so I presume she's finally going on maternity leave, but it looks like she's already had her baby! I know they tape things around 3 months ahead, but this is wierd...

Well I have so enjoyed all the oldies they have brought home for the final weeks and days of the show. DOn't see it every day though.I read today that Dr.John Dixon will return for a one day appearance. As "evil" as John could be, I'm thinking his evil ways were not as evil as the bad ones these days on all of the soaps. The really worst bad person of all times has to be that one on DOOL...Stephano DiMiera.

It's looking like Adam might be out there. Phyllis and Sharon are on the wrong track I think.

Rosebud what are you up to?

My manager at my workplace said her cousin was at the T J Maxx store a few days ago in Rockland, Maine and looked to her right to discover John Travolta standing there. Rockland is on the mainland from his island home.

My guess is Adam is indeed still alive, but how did he meet up with this look alike of his in the first place. I remember him meeting with the guy who had a little boy, but what lead to that meeting? Guess the poor look alike is somewhere in the forests of Kansas.

Guess Jill will be having more of a storyline what with Snapper and his real life daughter, and the rest of the Foster family coming back for a bit. Maybe we will finally find out who Jill's parents are.

Well, it's just a matter of time before Nancy Drew and her sidekick figure out that Mr. Hightower did not kill Adam, but Adam killed him for his body. They will be jumping for joy knowing that they'll be able to get the charges dropped on Nick as soon as they get DNA samples from the exumed body....oops...no body!! Another Victor blunder.

Happy Birthday Izzy...what's your son up to these days?

So is it time for Victor to go somewhere...OH YES..he said he was going to Kansas to look for clues about Adam. This story needs to move on, I'm almost positive you agree with me. The new story with Abby is a little explosive. Do you think her producer is going to be a long term kind of guy? Looks to me like she might move on to Daniel.Nikki and Victor must have agreed to continue their life on the show, but with less screen time, especially Nikki. Somewhere I also read there's going to be a new lady for Neil.
I can't get over what pretty blouses the women are wearing. I guess I like blouses, because I'm tall and long waisted, so blouses are much more likely to fit than a dress....I see them in the stores, and the prices on pretty ones are "dress-like" prices. Oh yes, who wears dresses?

Gee, I wonder how long it will take writers to sum up this new tale about Adam's supposed accomplice and murderer. How many weeks? Any body want to guess?

That Abby's a real snot, isn't she? She was even surprised someone spanked her. Good for Daniel I say. Abby needs to get her head out of the self-righteous, anti-Newman campaign run by this big cheese. He just wants her family's cash.

Kevin just better let Jana be Jana because the emotion control of her brain has been damaged. Maybe the sight of Ryder will instill some emotion : "...Why you bastard!" Who knows, that may start the healing.

SillyFluff : You're probably right concerning the "major Newman" role, but you know as well as everyone else that won't happen. Besides Braeden's portrayal has been done longer than I've been watching it at least, so I don't think suddenly a new face would be so welcome, do you? Besides, I've grown to expect his angst, yet I too get tired of the "okay...?" and "got that?". But that's Newman's unique personality.

The Victoria/J.T. storyline is getting interesting. If Victoria the actress really understood her character right now, most of her scenes she would be doing ...like with J. T. today and Nick would be through tears. But I guess her life is different than being a stay at home Mom. Did anyone else notice how "Pockets/sweetheart/Kay?" was acting like he was a wind storm and blowing out alot? I'd love to see Tucker playing the role of him instead...younger, easier, much easier on the eyes and less irritating and annoying to watch. Would love to see the writers bring Nikki back with a great storyline. They did that with Ashley....

I'm enjoying the new Abby story too. Strangely, it's believable. EVERY kid wants their own reality show or be on one. Hence, the popularity of You Tube. I agree, that and the Billy and Victoria silliness is so much more fun to watch than Amber's weaping, Sharon's hand wringing, Winters brothers brawling and most of all the surgical look-a-likes.

Love Jana's new hair, although it looks like Nick Orrogo cut it, perfectly layered in the back, not exactly a do-it-yourself job. I do hope they don't drag out her glum attitude too long. It wears on me.

Since Lauren sees Sarah when she looks in the mirror, I would think she would be the one who would want a new look.

Hate Emily's bangs. Usually I love bangs but she doesn't have a face for bangs. With the short bangs and long, dark, curly hair, she looks like she stepped out of the 50's. Like a character in the Twilight Zone.

rosebud, Fireman and I used to watch Guiding Light off and on and the actress playing Abby was one that he got a kick out of. Her character was Lizzie Spaulding the spoiled little rich girl with all the problems. Now she gets to play another spoiled little rich girl.I think her real first name was Marcy and as the Guiding Light was preparing to end she was about to become a "real" mom. I can't believe how they aged the character of Abby,15 one week and not even a boyfriend in sight and the next in her 20's with a guy her age or older scheming with her. Where did he come from? I thought the only guy she new was Ryder.

"What, you're responsible for this black eye?" says Jack, as he eyes Victor with contempt. I laughed and said, "Oh I'm gonna love this." The bitter ire between the two comes back.

As I see Abby Newman unveil herself, I think, "Oh here's another one." And Victor is aghast(almost). Abby is a conniving, selfish, ambitious little bitch, who wants to bring her family down.

Dr. Emily has to get her credibility back as the Psych Dr. she is, unfortunately. Yet as Kevin requests her help to deal with Jana when she returns from memory loss, all Dr.Em says is he'a no help. She's probably right. This I learned myself. Remember the song "Day By Day"? That's how it works with trauma, day by day.

So, "Mr. Pockets", as you say sillyfluff, is going to pay Tucker 'in kind' for his involvement in Newman's family? I wonder how that will turnout.

Is it any wonder Reed wants to see his mom?
and re the Billy and Chance comparisons, I like the Billy character more. He's more faceted,and fun to watch.

Regarding Billy's reputation as a whore puppy (very funny Toots)...you forgot Amber, Cactus. It's not just his activity while in GC, but his past in NYC. I do think he has it in him to be a good guy. I think he was severely hurt by the whole losing Mac thing that it turned him in the wrong direction.

Billy Abbott has been spoiled, but he will grow up. I was trying to remember who he has slept with and, honestly, he was married to Chloe (with whom he had a previous long-term relationship) and had a one-night stand with Heather, at her instigating. He had an odd affair with Sharon. He was really attracted to Victoria and vice versa. I don't think that makes him any different than any other young guy out there, in fact, probably uses more restraint than many.

Am I gathering that Tucker is now using Malcolm in some way to get to Neil? Tucker looked like the cat that swallowed the canary when Ashley said Yes, but no doubt sees Neil as a roadblock to plans ahead. Tucker is a man who uses call girls, now that's a little on the loose side.

Cactus : Can't seem to imagine the Billy Abbot character becoming "Bill". I mean, considering his personality and behaviors sometimes, Bill just doesn't seem to suit him. This Billy behaves like a "Billy" not like a "Bill". Just doesn't seem adult enough. What d'ya think?

Oh, and the fact that he and "Vicky" getting so chummy I think is a riot. Just wait until the familial factor hits the fan. (You're seeing who? says Victor to his daughter.) But the Jamaica trip I'm sure serves as am emotional break for both of them. No?

Cactus: Interesting question. You've lived in the south...they are all Billys, Bobbys, Jimmys, etc. Actually, John Edwards real name, on his birth certificate, is Johnny. Maybe he should have kept that, so his behavior wouldn't have been so shocking. You'd expect a Johnny to screw up...but a John...NEVER...LOL!!

Another bit of southern name trivia...there are lots of men named Tres (prounounced "tray") and Trip. I thought it odd when I first moved here but found out that it was a nickname for guys who are the third. (Trip for triple.)

Total trivia, would Billy seem more mature if his name was changed to "Bill" as happens with most little Billy's? You know, Bobby's become Bob, etc. Just sayin'.

I like Billy but he's not my type. I find Chance way, WAY sexier...for a young guy and Tucker for an old guy. I do not like Victoria at all!! I don't think a mother who is away from her children, especially a very young one, should EVER be "unreachable"!! For as long as my daughter lived at home I was reachable even if I just went out to dinner. I thought that JT and Mac just went to a drive-in theatre...not a road trip. I could have missed something. When characters are in a car, it's never good...so I hope it isn't an accident, what with an "unreachable" mother and all....

Sharon and Phyllis...they expected Nick to be released because Pattie had motive and opportunity to kill Adam??? ALL OF THEM had motive and opportunity....including Sharon and Phyllis. And in Nick's case, there's also evidence.

Hey, for once, this is starting to look fun! Playboy Billy in Jamaica w/ Vicky? Like you, Cactus, I wonder if these two will become a new 'item' in y&r pairing. I think it's no mistake JT and Mac (with Reed) are seeing each other; they used to be lovers or something, weren't they? We can all see though that Billy is the real party hardy guy, huh?

Clever move by Phyllis to have Lauren speak w/ Patty who doesn't know Sarah is dead yet. But if the conversation's not recorded somehow, it's useless hearsay, isn't it? But sometimes I thought Patty was putting on an act, even with Paul. We all see how she tenses up and changes subject when Adam is mentioned. Can't they pick this up? The writers are just stretching the story longer and....(sigh) Enough already. New stuff.

The Billy and Victoria pairing has got to be my favorite storyline in a while. To each his own, adb, LOL, even as a "mature" woman I think Billy is crazy sexy and a very good actor. I wonder if something will come up now that causes the two of them to move in together. Why did the writers have J.T., Mac and Reed go on a road trip? Are they going to be in an accident?

Seattle - Thu May 13 19:04:55 MDT 2010

Today people like Phyllis and Sharon are starting to "see the light", so to speak, along with Michael and maybe Paul, that Patty iced Adam. That one slip of the tongue about Patty hating Phyl and Mike I think did it....started them all thinking, eh?
Think writers are reading our stuff?

I agree with you, Cactus. "Pockets Newman" should keep his nose out of his daughter's dilemma. Whatever he does, it'll just make her look worse and give fuel to JT's reasoning. The fact that Victor popped Billy's orbit was surprisingly cool, but we all know Billy's just going to retort with a suit, maybe an expose.

Yes, Ladybug, Christian LeBlanc did an outstanding job this year. He usually does; his expressions and phrasing do a lot of the acting. But so did Haiduk and Davidson. However, Ashley's almost sudden switch to sanity did seem unreal.

Victoria didn't seem angry enough with "I can't keep my hands out of my pockets". She has smacked him before...she should have done it today. His arrogance is annoying. His acting is lousy and his addiction to the words sweetheart and OK are irritating.... So it looks like Victoria and Billie are going to run into mac and J.T in Jamaica.....
sillyfluff
Naples, FL - Thu May 13 13:28:33 MDT 2010

ladybug: Apparently the new interest for Victor comes from an unlikely source, someone who owns or works in a bar.
I am wondering why Christian LeBlanc wasn't nominated again for an Emmy. He can say so much with his eyes and facial expressions, without dialogue, but his dialogue is also outstanding. The looks he gave Lauren when she was back, just staring at her with the "I can't believe you are really here" look was great.

NOTE!!!!!!!!U.S. fans, there is a huge surprise coming for you on tomorrow's show. I love love love it, but the fallout is going to be HUGE.

And are they now portraying Chloe as frustrated with Chance and re-thinking Billy?

Hi again! I went on vacation for a week and came home to all the recorded epsidodes. Took me until today to catch up. It was really fun to watch some of the most exciting, cliff hanging shows (like Lauren killing Sarah in the funhouse) all in a row without having to wait another day. I also realized that even though I'm "addicted" to the show when I'm home, when I went away it only took one day to forget about it. So if they end up cancelling it, I guess we'll all live!
I was glad to see the Lauren/Sarah thing end (of course there's Daisy and Rider out there) and I wondered if the writers listened to us cuz they did place a little more emphasis on the expressions of happiness and relief by Lauren. (versus in Sharon's case with the baby....I still think they should show Sharon telling the baby how happy she is etc)
Also, wonder if by having the Adam from hell voiceover they are assuring us that yes he really is dead! That's storyline is a bit more interesting now too. Hard enough to stab someone else in the heart with a pen, but yourself?
The Patty/Emily thing got pretty exciting too. So I think we have been entertained and I guess we're getting our moneys worth even though we still have plenty to complain about.
I agree with the gals who wrote that the little twist at the end of having Emily reluctant to run right back to Jack's arms and home is great.
Still need to teach these writers about when to use "I" and "me" in a grammatically correct fashion. I'm far from perfect either, but that happens to be my pet peeve right now because the incorrect usage has just skyrocketed of late. The wrong way has gotten into the public's ear and even very well educated and prominent people make the mistake.
The easiest way to know if you are using it right, without worrying about rules or terminology is to do this simple test: (my mom taught me this when I was a kid!) take the other person out of the sentence and see if it sounds right.
So for example : "This is just for you and I." "This is between you and I." Will you go to the movies with Sue and I?"
Those are all wrong.
"This is just for I." "This is between I." "Will you go to the movies with I?" I hope those still sound funny and wrong!

adb, The original Patty was played in 1980 to 82 by Lilibet Stern and then in 1983 to 1984 Andrea Evans (the one playing Amber's mom, Tawny) took over the role and it is now played by Stacy Haiduk (Emily and Patty). Evans also played on Passions.

maybe someone else has already remarked on this . . . i watched the show for the first time in ages today -- it was okay -- didn't know a slew of characters, of course -- but, i think the actress playing the mean mother of amber played the original patty on the show -- has someone else remarked on this -- does anyone think this is the case ???

adb
seattle - Wed May 12 18:16:39 MDT 2010

Ha! Andrea Evans is over the top and terrific. (Although I find it hard to believe that Phyllis wouldn't know "Forrester" - isn't that fashion house, like, the Chanel of the USA?)

Good for Emily yesterday. (But the evil in me wants to see the look on Patti's face when she finds out Emily didn't suddenly take off with Quack.)

Was that morgue physician floating instead of walking, or what? My, it seems like he had marrionette strings attached to his feet.

Stacy Haiduk surely should have received a nod for Patti/Emily.

Scary stuff with Reed today :(

I miss Connie, too. I also loved her dinner menu at the end of each of her posts. I know she was near and dear to some of you here, your real-life friend. My heart goes out to you folks. (She also seemed to know as much about medicine as any doctor - that woman was a bright one.)

Victoria's point re: JT, and how he tries to show he's above the Newmans seems weak when....We see that JT kissed Mac and is now apologizing to Mac for it.

As if only by Jack's coaching the doctor gets the Adrenalin to bring Emily back. Don't doctors think of these things in real hospitals?
When Patty sees her attempts failed, as she stares at Emily and shakes her head, the empty needle is still at her own chest to X herself. When will she confess to Adam's murder ? Geez, let's finish this guys....new story.
LadyBug : Like your note of Emily's point of realism as to how Jack diddn't know her good enough to tell the two apart.

JT's point about Reed living under the Newman influence could be well taken : Look at Nick and Victoria. Oh, and Adam. But then JT gets caught red handed while explaining Mac's assistance with Reed (See above).

RC: There's lots of evidence against Nick: Phyllis hid his jacket, Adam's blood was on his jacket, the pen belonged to Nick, he threatened to kill Adam in front of a number of people and now the cell phone. Why wouldn't the police consider those things? He had motive and opportunity and that's all they need to convict. Are the police suppose to ignore all the evidence just because he's a Newman or because he said he didn't do it?? I'm pretty sure Nick didn't do it, but I have to admit I like that he is accused. He is so arrogant...he and Victor making demands and being indignant when they can't bully the DA and Chance.

Well, unless they plan on killing off Emily, Jack will have to notice the cat scratch fast and shake Pattie until she confesses. They can't drag this one out too long with Emily in the freezer.

It was annoying to watch Jack and Paul lounge around in the coffee shop when they should have called the police pronto.

I agree about Amber...her constant whining and weaping and gnashing of teeth is getting on my last nerve I hope she leaves and doesn't come back...ever!! You'd think that if she wants to protect Eric from Daisy and Ryder she would stay in GC since that's the one place where they would be recognized and arrested.

Oh, and I should have realized Jack was bringing the cat to Patty, not Emily. (dummy - can't bring a cat to a hospital)

Poor Jack is fooled again. "There, I got you now..." he probably said to himself, as he saw Patty rubbing the cat as she talked to it. Then he goes to see his true love, Emily, in the hospital and....Guess who?
It's creepy Patty grinning over his shoulder as they hug. Meanwhile, the real Emily gets put in a drawer.
Come on, writers....how long are you gonna drag this on?

Now that the Vic has been released, and sonny boy jailed in his place,
it's still sorry that the only evidence Chance has is the recording on a cell phone. How do they really know Adam was talking to Nick? Because Adam said, "Nick, what are you doing here."? There was so much going on at the party, that I'm not sure if, or not, someone donned Nick's mask to stab the supposed late Adam. But then, who? Any suggestions?

Yes, I agree with you that the current Heather, though cute, does not match the hard-nosed, yet steamy, previous Heather. Oh well.

The writers do love the "buried alive" elements, don't they? Emily in a vault after Jana in a coffin is just too much for me. Of course I was in the hospital when all the drama came down, and now it seems to be back to same old, same old. Nick in jail, Patti recycled once again, Jana no memory, Amber going, going, gone (has she done anything but cry for months?) ... the only interesting scenario to me is the plotting of Phyllis and Sharon to find Adam's murderer when Adam is still alive ..

It's a wonder soaps are quickly becoming a thing of past. I mean, really...? TWO look-a-likes? Can cosmetic surgery be so real that it fools the spouses? And let's say the Lauren(s) do look the alike...can the locked-up-for-who-knows-how-long Lauren look & dress the exact same way as the Lauren-that-left-the-house-that-morning Lauren? The locked-up Lauren isn't dirty from being kept in a cage? Michael can't tell the difference? And the working abandoned amusement park w/ electricity is just silly.

I've been watching this program for over 20 years & it's just not as interesting anymore. The scenarios are too far fetched.

I'm just sayin'.

San Diego - Wed May 5 15:54:47 MDT 2010

Loki: If it was the real Lauren who died then the writers are really taking us for fools...if they expect us to believe that her last words to Phyllis would be a cryptic remark. Her last words as she lay dying would be in the nature of "take care of Fen and Michael". And...are we also to believe that before, Sarah couldn't impersonate Lauren, personality wise, to save her life and now she can? And why did Fen run right to her?

Phyllis had quite the miraculous healing. In a few short hours she went from wheelchair, to crutches, to cane, to practically running with nothing. Reminded me of one of those faith healings where the person tosses their crutches aside...Praise Jesus!!

Well, if Y&R is the next soap to go, I hope they end it before Daisy comes back. I'm SO over the revenge thing.

I saw Helen Wagner a couple weeks ago, before she passed away. Somewhere I read she said the first words on the show when it began, it was something like "How as your day, dear?"

I don't think Pattie killed Adam for two reasons: 1) I don't think Adam is dead...I think he faked his death. 2) Pattie seemed reluctant to kill Michael and relieved when she didn't have to. I don't think she's a natural born killer...maybe because of that Catholic upbringing that Mary forced on them. Where the heck is Mary anyway.

I was glad to see Rafe among the living....I like him.

I have Vista and this site loads very quickly for me.

I don't think Jack will need the cat. Once he sees the shredded portrait, that should convince him.

I got deja vu watching the Lauren/Lauren scene. It was too much like the Phyllis/Phyllis (Sheila) scene when the two came together and no one, including viewers, could tell who was who and then one gets shot and no one is sure who...blah, blah, blah. I can't believe the writer's couldn't come up with something new.

But...I am enjoying all this. Loved it moving along quickly.

Yay for Jack & the cat..
But the pristine amusement rides with no graffitti or cob webs & everything working were unreal ..
and I had closed caption on so i knew who was who in the house of mirrors . BUT Sarah was standing right in front of Michael and Lauren behind him and all of a sudden Lauren can hit the broad side of a barn with a machine gun ... NO one called the police isnt that amazing , I know I know....

Hello, everyone!
Hooray! Go Jack! Jack is finally standing up to Patty, wanting to see patient Emily for himself. With the cat as a test! Smart move, Jack.

I wasn't sure I heard the entire conversation between Michael. Lauren, and Sarah. Did Mike (or Lauren) give the code word for recognition? Something was mentioned about Scott. Was that it? Otherwise, he could've be talking to. . . .Well, anyway this thing is wrapping up finally.

As you know, there are lots of other stories to be told here at Y&R, but they have to conclude this lengthy tale first, right?

A lot of you I know would like to see "Mr. Pockets" put in the pokey, but a lot of the evidence is circumstantial; the pen, the jacket, and whatever else may not finger the culprit(s)just due to ownership. For instance, the pen was stolen from Victoria or Nick by.....well, I think Patty. We'll see, right?

Looks refreshing to see a new face joining the cast of Y&R soon. By mid May, Sean Young will be added to the Y&R crew. Just hope the dumb story lines get better.
Y'know, no more "stuck in an elevator for three months" sort of stuff. Just an example, there was no elevator this time; just a zoo.

Just watched todays show!!!!!!

HOORAY FOR JACK!!!!!!!!!!! Throughout those scenes with him and Pattie, I wss YELLING "ALRIGHT JACK!!!!!!" It's about time!!

I got confused w/ the two Laurens though. At the end I couldn't figure out who was who!

What do you all think will happen with Jana? Will she make it or not?

Susan, I think that Pattie killed Adam too. He was the ONLY one who knew who she really was.
I also hope that Sarah/Lauren, Pattie/Emily kill each other as well AND that they take Daisy with them!
Seana
- Tue May 4 07:55:02 MDT 2010

Lady Bug, I remember that about Amber and Rick. However (like I said I haven't been watching the show that long) I was unaware of Daniel's age. Now that you say that none of that plot makes any sense!
Seana
- Tue May 4 07:51:44 MDT 2010

It has been exciting the last few days. Hopefully, Sarah/Lauren and Patty/Emily will kill each other. Take Daisy along, too. If Phyllis had bitten Sara on the hand, then that would prove who the real Lauren is if comes down to both of them together saying they are Lauren. Oh well, too easy!!

I think Patty killed Adam. That would wrap up that story too, and get Nick and Victor out of jail.

I am enjoying it right now. Sure alot of it doesn't make sense, but that a soap, right?
Susan
Ruidoso, NM - Tue May 4 07:25:11 MDT 2010

The most frustrating thing about the Phyllis scene....she hears glass break, knows there is danger, drags her body behind a door, shuts the door...CELL PHONE IN HAND, but DOESN'T dial 911. She instead yells, "who's there, what do you want"!!!!! Who, in God's name, is going to try to reason with a criminal instead of calling the police??? At that point I thought she deserved to be choked.

With everything that Jack knows, suspicion from day one, etc...he should have called the police and not allowed Emily to spend one more minute in a padded cell.

Seana: Amber was 18 and a nanny to Rick who was 16, who she seduced, etc. So chronologically she would have to be 35/36 whereas Daniel is in his early 20's. I think that's why they had to do reverse aging on Eric. I never liked Amber and Daniel together for that reason. He seemed fresh and new and she's been around the block so many times, makes your head spin. She's closer to Phyllis' age.

Smiley, I posted that about "Jack in the sack". I have only been watching Y&R for about 15 years now. Somehow I was under the impression that Jack and Pattie were married or at least engaged at some point. If so maybe they never wound up sleeping together.

I agree that Jack should get a cat!!!! I think he may FINALLY be realizing that something MUST be wrong. Otherwise he wouldn't have told the supposed "Emily" to put him on Pattie's visiting list!

I don't understand why Kevin ALWAYS goes searching in the amusement park/zoo for Jana at night either.

Was that "Little D" with Amber and Daniel today? If it was that is TOTALLY frustrating because he looks several years younger than Hope. And he's NOT!!!!!

This is going back a ways, but did anyone notice when Phyllis was trying to get out the door to see who was there, she moaned and groaned to try and stand up and could hardly move even with the help of two umbrellas. But, when Michael came to the door she shot right up - straight - off the sofa with no help and stood there. Producers sure missed that one.

MaryB: My little one loves the wooden puzzles too. Especially the "Melissa & Doug" brand. Such joy at the sense of accomplishment!!

The show, with all it's flaws, has been quite exciting these past few days. It should be interesting how it all shakes out.

The amusement park is a mystery. Why is it always dark where Lauren and Jana are kept. Why does Kevin only go looking for Jana at night, when it's dark. Even though he heard Jana call him there, it seems to have not occurred to him to go looking in the day light.

This is to whomever wrote concerning "Jack in the sack"* regarding his lack of confusion over Emily/Patty.....
What if Jack only slept with Emily and viewed Patty "from afar", so to speak, only seeing, albeit too late, "Emily's" changes in behavior, not the intimacy part. (*my words re the Chat piece, a few weeks ago)

Lady Bug,you're absolutely right because "Little Eric" or "Little D" was born before Hope (Brooke's daughter with Deacon) was born. Hope is a teenager now. She's got to be at least 16 or 17 now. Don't these writers know that we pay attention to those details?

Anybody with half a brain in Genoa City has got to know, realize and understand that Emily and Lauren are simply NOT Emily and Lauren. I mean, come on! I just can't understand WHY and/or HOW it's taken Jack this long to realize that something is seriously not right about his wife! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Emily and Pattie can't be THAT similar in the sack!

The whole Daisy/Ryder/Jana/Lauren thing is really starting to irritate me! I have insomnia so I don't sleep at night much When Y&R comes on I watch that but once Jana andLauren come on I crash!!!! That storyline needs to end quick!

Hello, everyone.
These long abridged tales seem to be finally coming to and end. It's sort of like, If someone is stuck in an elevator they come to get him out in a few hours, not weeks. Right? The story lines just....well I'll go on too long. But y'all know what I mean.

Sort of amusing how Daisy was too 'hot' to carry out the job. I just hope that Daniel wakes up to find her naked scrawny body squeezing his, and says, "Who are you?"
Sorry, just sounded funny as I thought of it.

I'm sure we all hope help comes quickly for Jana and Lauren (oh end this tale), hoping Jana doesn't have a stroke added to those migraines. [headaches are only a symptom, you know]

Last, is Ashley going to ditch Tucker's new position for her?
I think she will.

Hi, Y&R-ers. Beautiful day in Va Bch.
LadyBug : Yes, I agree with your Newman statement, but as Michael said, Nick played his part like a pro, forcing the DA to go to trial, threatening the DA's future by spending taxpayer's $$$ on a trial with no sentencing. The evidence follows this precept:

All the evidence hangs on Sarah's and Patty's attempts to kill Phyllis and Lauren. If those attempts fail (I'm not sure about Phyllis), and if Patty cracks (hope, hope), oh, and if Ryder's spilling the beans bears fruit, the true murderer of Adam will be discovered. Yes, it's a long shot, but I just hope that these novelettes get wrapped up soon.

What do you think? Am I missing something?

Huge blizzard raging around us, but hasn't hit us yet - Wed Apr 28 21:51:26 MDT 2010

My hope is that the pending double murder attempt (I don't think they will succeed) will put an end to the Pattie/Emily and "Jana held captive" storylines. I think Heather will get the DNA results in the nick of time to save Michael...maybe Phyllis. If fake Lauren even just attempts to kill Phyllis, she'll go to jail. Daisy will go to jail as an accessory. Pattie will go back to the loony bin. And Jana will get that bubble bath and...at long last....fresh undies.

If Amber shows up with Little "D" and he's a little boy it will really annoy me since I know he must be at least 17.

Wow...the Newmans are so arrogant!! The DA has all kinds of evidence against Nick and Victor and they want to sue him for doing his job??!! He had every right to charge Phyllis and Sharon for tampering with evidence, yet didn't, so how could they claim harassment...sheesh! They're not concerned about wasting tax payers money on a ludicrous trial. I'm glad Michael talked them out of it. Nikki's constant nose in the air expression is really getting on my nerves.

I read that the Adam actor is not coming back...apparently he left because he had better opportunities. So, here's my fear....what if he goes to a certain medical facility in Brazil and has himself transformed into Nick!!! AAACCCKKKKK!!! Could happen......

Even though Emily isn't real...Jack doesn't know that. It is completely unprofessional, not to mention, disrespectful of him to barge in on her while she is with a patient. He's done it twice now....so annoying.

I like the brother...wish they would keep him around.

I also read that the new Abby is going to get a storyline right out of the headlines. Let's see...while out on bail, Victor builds a balloon out of aluminum foil, puts Abby in it...they add three months to his life sentence for murdering Adam. Or....she gets married, has eight kids...blah, blah, blah. Any other guesses??? Considering how bad the writing has been of late, I'm all for them plagarizing reality.

Well Eden Riegel(new Heather) was born in '81 so she's 29 years old. She has theater and movie experience. I can't imagine she came cheap to the YR production. I remember hearing she is an accomplished singer,and the bio says she was in le Miserables on Broadway.

I thought Emily told Patty a bold face lie about her brother. He could be trouble. Patty won't do well in the face to face with her supposed brother. Surely he'll notice a difference.

I think they started the fire just so they could attract the police.
THis story is getting old already. Just do something. How long can Lauren do both parts? Do you get paid double when you play two characters? mmmm probably not.

I miss Noah and Eden, and I guess we'll soon have a new fast aged Abby Carlton too, they keep pulling her towards being a bad girl. LOL I guess they need some more 20 somethings to sleep around.

Hello all ---
I think all can see as apparent that the police want to
prosecute all the Newman children so that they get to the head.
What happens? Victor blurts out, "I killed Adam." after some
consult with Mike the advocate.(True? Y N) Nick was aghast, while
Phyllis and Sharon equally surprised.
> What do think will be the outcome on Monday (or Tues.)?

Didn't y'all think it was great that Emily lied to Patty
about her brother ? I was waiting for this. P's true colors will
come out. Next week looks good.

Didn't see it today, but I think, probably like others, that though Victoria goes to jail, her daddy will get her out; and do you think Patty lifted the Dubai pen from Nick to kill Adam? (just a suspicion)

We still can't understand why a detective brother and a loving husband can't tell the difference between Emily and Patty, can we? They're both dopes.(or the writers, eh?)

Well, time for Survivor.

First off have got to same an awesome day in Vancouver....spring has sprung.
I must be nuts cause I am acually liking all the duo girls...they get to test there acting a little and I bet they are having a blast...hope their paychecks are a little fatter. Anybody watch AMC? Saw it today in eons and so many characters back. Think it was the Bianca connection that made me tune in...God I know some of those people ...did I get old too...LOL

Interesting that having the ouija board tell Kevin where Jana is seems more realistic that Emily/Pattie and two Laurens.

I feel for real Emily. Paul is so dense. He's a detective and knows how crazy his sister is yet will not even consider that she's telling the truth. Heather, a prosecutor, should be suspicious of everything. Hope she has the DNA done.

I too think Adam killed "Adam" so no point in racking my brain over who killed him.

- Thu Apr 22 16:07:46 MDT 2010

I think Adam is very much alive and arranged his own "demise."
So we are playing "musical arrests" on ... and on ... and on ...
I am hoping that what Emily told Patti about her brother was all lies, so that Patti will hang herself. Having seen 'the brother' on today's Canadian show, that would seem to be a distinct possibility.
Somehow it seems impossible for "little Bianca" to be the old Heather type of personality. Cool ice queen by day, slut by night. I wonder who her first love interest will be.

Hey I was thinking,

Could the body in the coffin be the man with the boy Adam had some sort of dealings with. Was his name Hightower? Remember how grateful he was toward Adam? Was he at the Ball or in the basement?
I also remember Adam took the pen when Nick dropped it in the hospital room.
I think maybe Patty killed Adam. She would have easy access to Jacks Hanky.

Hi gang.
Couldn't watch Y&R today, but read some of your comments.It would be a hoot to see NuL and NuE show their true colors to the world and see how GC police take care of it. Hopefully, TruL and TruE will suddenly show up and then....a new story!

Does anyone know where Adam's(?) corpse landed?. I included the question mark because the body may not be Adam's. Don't some of us think that?
I have my suspicions as to who, but I'm reticent on the topic 4 now.

Congratulations to Christel Khalil Hensley for the birth of her son.

It occurred to me that if there is any suspicion about Adam's death they will never be able to exume the body. Wonder if what Victor did is legal?

It is crazy that neither Jack or Phyllis have considered that Emily isn't Emily since, like someone said, they know there is a look-a-like. Maybe if Pattie is found out she'll rat out Lauren as well and this whole thing will just go away. I can dream.......

Christel Khalil Hensley (Lily) delivered Michael Caden Hensley on April 17, 2010 weighing in at 6 lbs 6 oz.

Maybe The Foster's are coming home for a wedding (?) Victoria and Billy (Jill's son) maybe, or something to answer just who Jill's mom really is?

Also Victoria Rowell has a youtube video entitled, "Soap Diva Clawin Up a Cliff", it's rather humorous. Her book Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva is coming out soon, but obviously she played on the bit about her going over the cliff and into the river from her last Y & R show for the video.

Maine - Wed Apr 21 16:14:40 MDT 2010

Sherrilynn, There was an explosion at the ball, everyone got out okay (eventually), except the body that was discovered in the basement that was badly burned beyond recognition. The body through DNA was identified as Adam. They discovered the person died before the explosion and fire and that it was from being stabbed in the heart with a pen. The pen has been identified as the one Victoria bought Nick while she was on her trip to Dubai. Victor and Nickie were taking the body back to Kansas when Victor got to thinking of everything Adam had done and how unlike his mother , Hope ,he was and pushed the container holding the body out of the plane instead of burying him next to his mom.

I don't think he is really dead, I think somehow he pulled things to his advantage and set it up to look like he died, even the DNA ( probably paid someone off).

Maine - Wed Apr 21 15:49:33 MDT 2010

Hi All,
Someone please help!

I have missed a few shows lately. (My own personal drama) I was reading the chats here and my big question is this. When as some of you have mentioned, did Victor push a coffin out of an airplane??? Where? If it was Adam, then what happened at the explosion site at the Ball? Did he die from a stabbing from a pen?
It seems someone is framing Nick.
The one thing I am fairly certain of is no matter how they want us to think he died I don't believe he is really dead for one second!

I think it will be fun to watch NULauren and NuEmily reek havoc together.

I agree with all of you who disagrees with the casting of the new actress playing Heather. Couldn't they have come up with someone who resembles Heater in some way? Personality wise or physically?
I watched this actress grow up as Erica Cains lesbian daughter on All My Children. Too much of a stretch!

Billy is so cute in LOVE!

I haven't seen Monday and Tuesday's shows yet. I'm hoping catch up with them online. The only problem is that I have the lowest speed of AT&T's DSL internet services. And not by choice either. Check this out! I live right in the middle of the "medical center" in San Antonio, TX. I had AT&T come out to help me with installation of their internet. Come to find out I can only receive the LOWEST speed of their DSL services because I am "supposedly" out of range of their "main office". I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe. Especially given my location! Come on! Anyway, whenever I try to watch the soaps they skip about every minute or so for like five seconds. then it will go on until it happens again! I'm SERIOUSLY considering going back to Time Warner! I NEVER had this problem with them.

ladybug- good theory about the hair color,could be for another acting role
smiley- i agree. i think old heather had more intelligence and toughness. made her believable as a prosecutor. this new one has to work on that if she can muster it.
as to the who dunnit.....i still kinda like the theory that adam is not dead and is in fact the killer(maybe of rafe since he's not around, but of course no one's mentioned him)......but they seem to be hinting at some kind of newman plot, but even a good mystery writer would be purposely deceiving us...
one thing they've been pretty clear about though is- billy's in love!
he really was trying to save his lady in the courtroom. they showed us for sure at the end when he turned down the chance to make it with heather

As far as Adam's killer, 77% have said it's Patty, but who really knows. Yet, who used the pen?
rc smiley
Virginia Beach, VA - Tue Apr 20 18:55:15 MDT 2010

Tucker seems too smart, too good of a businessman and not emotional enough to kill someone just because they wronged him. Technically, he wasn't wronged. Because of Adam he probably got more for Jabot than he would have otherwise, because Victor paid much more than the highest bid.

I liked the old Heather better too. This one doesn't look or act like a prosecutor. I can already tell that she won't have any father/daughter chemistry with Paul.

I think the doubles have to do with a budget cut. Maybe they had to make up for giving Victor a raise. They have some actors doing double duty...two Laurens for the price of one. If I were Lauren/Emily I would insist on double pay!!

It was apparent to all that JT was not going to hear Nikki's plea for Victoria'a freedom. He's too much against the Newman backroom deals to invoke, or release from, justice so he wants to hide from Reed the "Newman way", as I call it.

By The Way, what do some of you think of the 'new' Heather, the "Blanca as Heather" as Cactus called her? Personally I liked the previous Heather, the one that heated up Adam in the....Well, I just thought she was prettier, and expressed a cool, cold persona in the courtroom.

We all know Billy was trying to protect Victoria from the lawyers, yet in reality he, as always, was protecting his own skin, so that his admission of a bedroom dance with her only secured J.T.'s chances of parental rights for Reed, and broke her heart.

Question: will Jack's romantic feelings change with the changes he sees in "Emily" ? Or will dumbo still be pining for the one he assumes as Emily, who, btw, is now commencing with the "NuLauren"?

A while back didn't Daniel have platinum blonde hair because he was doing a movie or something? Maybe that's the case with Nikki. Maybe she had a part in a Lifetime movie...a headmistress at a boarding school, perhaps. Or maybe a warden at a women's prison.

I can understand Victoria protecting Nick...but she's sacrificing her son. What would it do to him to have a mother in prison? What will being arrested do for her custody battle?

I have a feeling that Tucker really likes Ashley and might give her Jabot...or something like that.

Seattle - Mon Apr 19 21:40:13 MDT 2010

Liked today's show a bit better. A couple highlights were: Billy standing up in court and saying "she was with me". (And y'all know exactly what we were doing,wink, wink, nudge, nudge...)
and
Michael: I have to figure out what's going on with my wife.
Jack: Join the club.
(It's a very small club but they DO both belong to it.)
Now, on to the criticisms!!
Unlike Michael, Jack does ALREADY KNOW that a double for his wife exists in dear old Genowa City. How slooooowwww can an executive be?

Billy, why didn't you fire your mom already?

The conversation between fake Sarah and Patty was pretty interesting.
But they met in South America? Huh? Talk about a small world. Am I missing something here? Still, I guess at least we were given some explanation for why there were too doubles. Same talented surgeon and idea passed from one sicky to another sicky.

Also, I liked Ryder talking back to Daisy.

Willie - I loved what you said about finding yourself thinking "you go girl" and realizing it was a phrase from the younger generation. I feel the same way and I'm in my 50's. What's even funnier is when people use that phrase for boys too. I also found it a riot when my kids were young and used to call me "dude" instead of mom, just out of habit of calling everyone dude all day.
Mary- thanks for info about the look alike Ashley actresses- glad I wasn't just imagining it
Seana- I LOVE that you said the twin thing twice even if it was an accident

I am very curious as to the real reason Melody Thomas changed her hair colour for only a few months. Or ... was she wearing a wig? Not to be snarky or anything, but, my goodness, someone please take her to La Senza.
Can't get used to 'Bianca' as Heather. Used to watch her for years with Susan, was it? Forgot her last name, but she was the actress who was always nominated for a Daytime Emmy and never won.

Okay, so what if the body was really Rafe, that was thrown from the plane, and when Rafe's family found out about it, Victor had to hire investigator Paul to find the casket. They search every nook and cranny in Kansas to find the box...and there it is, on the farm of Charity, a blind woman near Wichita who didn't see the ufo land, and is the twin sister of Hope.
Rafe's twin brother had appeared in GC and no one knew he was even missing, thinking he had amnesia from the fire.There was a small birthmark on Rafe that was missing on Rufus..and they realized he wasn't Rafe, Where was Rafe?

Yea, I better stop. IT's gonna sound like YR writers thought up this pile of goo.

Yeah, Willie, not being strapped in while Vic and Nikki tossed Adam's corpse out of the plane is just plain stupid and dangerous, while not only to the poor folks on the ground, but the sudden change in Air Pressure would toss those two out there with Adam, no?

My request to the writers is not to lengthen the darn stories to long. Allow the masqueraded Lauren and Emily to be discovered for who they are, and not burden us with the charade.

So, since one plot line involving an evil person who has had facial surgery to look exactly like a good person seems to be working, let's have another identical plot line and maybe that will work well too! For crying out loud, people! I know soap shows are normally outside reality, but this is just too much to swallow.

I've been reading all the posts that have been added since I was last able to get on here and have particularly agreed with the new poster "Lauren" from Seattle. You have so many pertinent comments that I found myself nodding as I read them, muttering under my breath "you go, girl" which is really odd since I'm an 85-year-old white dude from an almost gone generation. Anyway, as folks who have read my stuff in the past will know, I have long been ranting and raving about how unreal this show has become. The demand of good fiction that the reader "suspend disbelief" is shredded to pieces on Y&R.

Having Victor shove the coffin out of the plane is not only dangerous to those below (as someone noted) but here these two people are, standing up in a plane in flight with no belts to hold them and a large open cargo door inviting them to dipsy-doodle into eternity if there's even a slight bit of turbulence. Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice would say!

Maybe the original Pattie actress will come back in a flashback or dream/fantasy sequence. Maybe Paul remembering Pattie or Jack remembering something that gives him a clue...or Pattie remembering her old self.

I didn't keep track of the pen, but if Adam had it last that supports my suspicion that he staged his death. I hope the real body isn't Rafe.

lady bug
- Sat Apr 17 10:26:27 MDT 2010

Maybe some spoiler info...I thought we knew most of this.

I wonder if the YR writers thought of this quote when thinking of the murder weapon for Adam (or whoever the body is). English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote"The pen is mightier than the sword"

There is another mystery, does no one care what's happened to Rafe?He was at the ball talking to Heather.His Aunt is probably looking for him. An attorney with any client base would be missed.

So there's going to be a new Heather, a long standing actor from another soap, so Heather must have a decent storyline coming up for "Bianca" to leave All My Children.

There is also going to be another Abby. They'll age her, but then will she be the same age as Ryder?Ryder actor seems very vulnerable.

I also read that the actor that played original Patty will make an appearance about the time Amber exits the show. She's a lot older than Amber, and the report said she'd be there for only one show. Seems like she'd be there for more than that, so it's a mystery who she'll be.

I like the idea that the two imposters might spark something good. Just about any spark would be great!

Lauren, In 1982 when the Abbott children appeared on Y & R after coming home from college and Jill was making the moves on their dad it was the present actor Eileen Davidson who played Ashley. For a few years Brenda Epperson Doumani (who looked a lot like Eileen Davidson) played the part followed by Shari Shattuck and then Eileen came back to be Ashley again.

The pen Victoria bought on her trip to Dubai and gave to Nick as a gift, he dropped it in the hospital and Adam was shown twirling it in his fingers while he sat in his hospital bed.

Another frustating show today- especially the part with Victoria not answering her phone and Chance not understanding that she was due in court.But I guess to Chance this was an emergency cuz he had the murderer!! Right.... she killed a strong, evil man with a pen?? Don't you love how all these people are questioned with no lawyer present?
And what happened with Victor in the sauna with the judge? Wasn't that supposed to unethically seal the deal?
I agree, Nicky's a blonde again- hurray for that!
I'm not sure if I don't like Jack because of the actor or the
character. But I hate to tell you this....I LOVE Billy.
It was kind of funny to see Michael run into Jack and say- my wife's just not herself lately.....hmmmm, ring a bell?
Maybe this two crazy criminal double thing at the same time is just wacky enough to be entertaining , but perhaps not in the way the writers intended. Kind of like laughing at someone instead of with them.
Thanks for the spoiler alert- with my name on it too- it worked. Sorry I can't remember to use your names, I'll have to take notes next time.
Beethoven's 9th! YES! I've been on a Chopin kick. See, who said soap opera fans aren't classy?

RC: Yeah...Victoria should have answered the phone. She has the best excuse...if you have a child, you ALWAYS answer the phone and put that way, Chance would have understood.

I think, not sure, that it has been determined that the pen is the murder weapon. It's the same size and the wounds to Adam's body. I don't know, but I would imagine Victoria bought it as a gift but doesn't want to implicate anyone.

I LOVE Chance, he makes the show worth watching. And I love how he is actually coming up with good evidence instead of the usual bungling around.

Yes. A lot of you are right. The new Malcolm could portray a football or baseball player, but not Malcolm. But ladies don't hold your breath for Shemar Moore (or something) to return. His TV show's doing good I understand.

Finally Michael noticed differences in NuLauren, and sent her to (ahem) NuEmily. Well we see how that worked. Teasers say Nu-L is gonna spill the beans to Nu-E. Maybe they'll have a party.

Looked like a foregone conclusion that JT was going to get custody. I still think Billy's a jerk, and Victoria could have answered the phone before Chance finished his sentence. But that's a risk. Does anyone know what she did with the pen? Is it murder weapon? and did Patty use it for the deed?

Ya think? Maybe Mike and Jack will "compare notes" on their wives' behaviors and conclude the masquerade. Anybody?

If I were Victoria, I would have told Chance anything and everything just to get to the custody hearing...NOTHING could have kept me away. But, alas, we know where her priorities lie.

Okay...fakeLauren has never met fakeEmily or fakePattie so how is it that she knows that fakeEmily is realPattie???? She looked at the back of fakeEmily's neck. I had a creepy thought...maybe, in order to do an accurate face change, the doctor has to pull the entire scalp and face off the head and then restructure the bones!!!!

It took me a long time to warm up to our present Abby, but I am rather liking her now. And I agree with whoever said we waited forever for Sharon to get her baby back and then we don't see her or Ashley again for ages.

SPOILER - TEASER - SPOILER A L E R T!
Lauren, don't read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to say in the last few seconds of your tomorrow show, I have waited a long time to see that look on the faces of the Newmans! WOO HOO, tee hee.

New Malcom isn't a very good actor, but maybe he could practice somewhere else. I don't doubt that he will improve and be very good someday. Didn't we expect someone more"endearing" like old Malcom?

Wouldn't it be nice if the writers would shoot thru some of these stories a lot faster? I had to agree with someone who has mentioned this in the past few days.

Welcome newbies.

seana - i agree re malcolm -- with the former malcolm, i always thought that neal and malcom could have been brothers (i.e., did not have to suspend my disbelief too much) -- but this guy, OMG, i bet a lot of actors tried out for the job, and, once again, they chose the wrong one . . . uck

lauren (seattle) -- did you mention that you did not like the actor playing jack ?? -- i have never liked him and really thought they did a bad job picking him, and now, unfortunately, they did do a good job picking a "brother" for jack when they chose the actor who plays billing -- hence, i'm not fond of him either

whine whine whine -- love it !!!!!

I don't know who that LOSER is playing Malcolm, but he NEEDS to seriously go back to where he came from! I REALLY wish that Shamar Moore was still playing the roll! This other dude can't act!

Pinkie, My husband had 6 surgeries in the last 2-3 years, 3 all in a span of 3 weeks. His memory and concentration went way downhill. The Dr. says it's normal and will improve. It has improved but he is still not as sharp as he used to be. Good luck with all you are going through.
I quit watching the show months ago and all the posts make me glad I did. I can't beleive they have 2 fake people at the same time! Ridiculous writing.

I totally missed Victor pushing Adam's coffin out of the plane, OMG! This is what is disturbing me about Y & R these days, there are things taking place that push beyond good taste to morbidly shocking. I know that is the way culture is going these days in movies, but I still believe the viewers of soaps expect more.

About the pen thing, now that is what I would do in the heat of passion (as in crime of). I would grab my purse and start rummaging around for a pen. I wonder where that ranks on the list of most popular murder weapons. I am curious how many murders in history have taken place "by pen."

Lauren: I do agree with you...Y&R used to be the classiest and best written soap. I remember way back when I used to watch "Guiding Light" and they had a story where they cloned Reva! You could always count on Y&R having reasonable stories. Now...not so much. And not too much classiness when Billy is living in a trailer. All the Newmans living in tack houses or hired hand cottages. They switch homes without redecorating, Sharon living at the club with a little baby. Are there no nice apartments or condos????

Pinkie: Don't shed too many tears for Adam...me thinks he is alive and well...on a beach in Bali si
